NEWS FROM THE MOUNTAIN

Karan Akcan

In June of 2021, I came to Forest Home for the first time as a guest of the More family. I was raised in a Muslim household and had been previously very hurt by the Christian church, so I was extremely guarded in terms of my faith and Christianity. At Forest Home, I encountered Jesus for the first time. On the last night of camp, I gave my life to Christ, and I never looked back. This camp is extremely important to both me and Aubrey, the community at Forest Home and the families that we attend this camp with have been major factors in my own salvation. Aubrey and I both understand how important it is to keep Christ at the center of our marriage and attending camp would be the perfect opportunity to begin our marriage rooted in Christ.
