Louisiana Campers on Mission
Campers on Mission (COM) is a national fellowship of Christian campers who share their faith while they camp. Membership is open to Christian campers of all denominations and requires no membership fees, only a willingness to join other campers in fellowship and service. 'Whether you are a tent camper, a backpacker, an RVer, a touring cyclist, or a trailer camper, whoever you are, however and wherever you camp, you will want to consider being a member of COM. Retired couples, young families, and singles are a vital part of the COM family. COM provides a great way to experience the relaxation of a vacation with the satisfaction of a mission project. It's a great pathway to "be on mission". As a camper, you are in a unique position to help meet mission needs. Because you have experience in adapting to new people in a variety of locations, and because you can take your housing with you, you can serve in mission settings where needs are great and resources are limited.
Campers on Mission Rallies
Louisiana COM is comprised of five areas, each hosting a rally once a year. Rallies consist of prayers, informal talks, Bible Studies, singing, potluck dinners and worship service on Sunday.
