Continuing the legacy started in 1940, we are reaching young people in a constantly shifting culture with biblical truth that never changes. Word of Life is committed to making an impact on today’s youth. Every day, in countries around the world, people of this generation are beginning their journey of faith with Jesus. Through God’s continued provision, we seek to guide these young people in their journey with the Lord. The enclosed pages tell the story of how the worldwide ministries of Word of Life are making a difference in the lives of students, campers, and families.

Over 15,000 students from across the country attend our youth and family camps each year.
Camps How did you meet Jesus? For so many young people, their story of life change begins at a Word of Life camp where they participate in exciting activities and hear biblical teaching. Scholarships and discounts make attendance possible for those who cannot afford to pay for camp and might not otherwise experience the good news of the gospel. No matter where people find themselves in life, Word of Life offers a camp for every member of the family. With day camps for kids, overnight youth camps for all ages, and family camps that help each member of the household strengthen their walk with Jesus... there’s something for everyone.
“My life was changed because God provided a scholarship for me to attend The Coast! I gave my life to Him! During that week it was as if God was telling me, ‘Freddy, I brought you this far because this is My plan for you.’”
– Freddy
Every year, almost 1,000
young people trust Christ as Savior at outreach events like Reverb!
Youth Ministries
A young faith needs to be fed. We know that the next step of life change happens through the local church. With this in view, Word of Life Youth Ministries equip local church youth leaders with step- by-step curriculum and companion devotional guides that propel all ages in their walk with the Lord. We also seek to strengthen and encourage this growth throughout the year by hosting evangelistic outreach events, such as Reverb and Fascar. Word of Life offers scholarships so that every student has the opportunity to learn about Jesus through these engaging events. For our youth leaders, we provide leadership training and one-on- one coaching sessions to intentionally support our frontline workers in their ministry. This allows these youth leaders to be renewed and encouraged so that they can effectively minister in their communities.
“It is easy to look at a big event (like a week of camp) as the only factor in spiritual growth. However, it’s the weeks and months of ministry leading up to that event that put students in a place to listen to the Lord. The other 51 weeks a year in your youth ministry lay a foundation for the big events to be more impactful and for that impact to last long after the event is over. It is also the weeks and months following the big event that continue growth in a student’s life.”
– Pastor Nathan Fox
Over 90% of Bible Institute students receive scholarships and
discounts to attend.
Bible Institutes
Because we know that finding the will of God is a result of studying the Word of God, Word of Life Bible Institutes are training students to dig deep in their study of the Scriptures. This training is invaluable for young adults who are hungry to understand and to apply the Word of God. With campuses in both New York and Florida, our one-year and two-year programs educate and prepare future pastors, missionaries, evangelists, and professionals who make an eternal difference in their communities. Over 90% of our student body receives some financial assistance to attend our Bible Institutes.
“Attending the Bible Institute is an unparalleled experience. The classes, staff, and family-like atmosphere were instrumental in solidifying my faith in God.”
– Clayton, Bible Institute Alumnus

“I shared the Gospel on Friday, and a young man patiently waited until I was done talking with those who had invited Jesus into their lives. He says to me, ‘Thank you for the message. I truly believed and invited Jesus into my life.’ The next day I drove to see him and others who were saved and presented them each with the Solar Bible Audio. Before he received the audio, he said a few words and then thanked God for saving him. Amen!”
