All of us are called to participate in God’s mission to share the story of Jesus Christ with the world, but sometimes we feel as if we are not qualified to be used by God. The Apostle Paul called himself “the chief of all sinners.” The book of Acts tells us that he hated Christians and was trying to extinguish Jesus’ followers. Yet, our Father in Heaven created Paul, changed his heart and used Paul’s writing to tell Jesus’ story for centuries. If God can use a man like Paul, then surely he can use people like us. Each summer we write a five-part drama to illustrate a Biblical teaching point. This summer our story is about an ambitious, young railroad tycoon who sees the power of steam and rail to change the world. His zeal for the railroad has blinded him to the possibility of air travel. So when a young inventor comes to town talking about a “new way” to travel, our railroad tycoon has a problem, until his encounter….This summer, it is our hope that your camper will learn about God’s Gospel message for the world and be inspired to take the good news of eternal life in Jesus Christ to the world.
Children’s Camps – completed 3rd-6th grade.
Student’s Camps – completed 6th-12th grade.
Combined Camps – completed 3rd-12th grade.
During Combined Camp, the 3rd-6th grade campers have a different schedule and a different speaker than the 6th-12th grade campers. The only time that they intermingle is if you have a 3rd-6th group of campers and a 6th-12th group of campers who are from the same church because they will be staying in the same bunkhouse. Besides that, they are seperated.

Ronnie really does have "A Passion To See People Respond To Jesus!" Paul once wrote to church friends that "there is a wide-open door for a great work here" (1 Corinthians 16:9, NLT), and those words are still true for Ronnie Hill Ministries today. Ronnie has been preaching on the road for 23 years and God has never reduced the opportunities He gives the ministry to proclaim the Gospel. There are even more things we could do to get the Gospel out on a large scale than we have resources to carry it all out. Ronnie is passionate about getting the Gospel out in all shapes, forms, ways, and sizes!
Ronnie preaches an anointed but simple message of salvation and repentance; that it's the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ, and that through His blood alone, we are saved. Speaking from the heart, Ronnie believes, 'It was God's sovereignty that chose me and I know that it is God that draws man to Him, not me!' Paul said, "When I came to you, brothers, I did not come with eloquence or superior wisdom as I proclaimed to you the testimony about God. For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and him crucified" (1 Corinthians 2:1-2).

Tee has a strong passion to see God change broken and sinful hearts through the powerful proclamation of the Gospel.

Mike Seabaugh hardly needs any introduction to those who are familiar with Camp Siloam. Mike has been the “Big O” at camp for 26 years. His method of storytelling and bringing the Gospel to children is our largest week of camp. The only place you can experience Mike's creativity for children is at Camp Siloam. When you do, you will not forget it. Each year Mike brings a mix of theatrical camp favorites such as Carmen San Diego, sprinkled with his imaginative presentation of biblical stories. Mike definitely has a gift for capturing the attention of kids and those who are kids at heart.
