SEEDS OF A VISION

It all began in the fall of 2004 when Anthony Courter was in the process of purchasing a piece of investment property. Knowing there was a missionary in need of funds, he decided to invite other church families to help his family with the remodel and then give all the proceeds to the missionary. After repeating this model for several years, Anthony's vision blossomed into Capenters Aiding Missionary Projects International ( a non-profit 501c3 organization) in 2007.


MISSION STATEMENT
CAMP's philosophy is that all men, everywhere should become fruitfully engaged in discipleship of the nations. Therefore, we are focused on a two-fold purpose: 


I. THE FOREIGN FIELD
    A. Discipleship of the missionary and the nationals.
We believe it is the calling of every believer to becoming personally involved in the discipleship of the nations. We believe this calling can be accomplish by becoming physically involved and engaged in the work of missions and in the live of the missionaries. While we strive to become involved in this mission, we endeavor to emphasize the importance of family structure and how the family unit on the field can help bring reformation to the ministry and its strategies.
     B. Providing capital for Bibles, literature (it's translation, printing, and distribution), medical supplies, and possibly meeting houses on the field
     C. Provide vision and capital for passive income opportunities. Passive income gives the missionary more opportunity to become self supported.
     D. Provide housing and/or vehicles at little or no cost to the missionary while in the US reporting back to their home church.


II. THE HOME FRONT
     A. Discipleship of men here in the states. We strive to motivate and engage men to become the responsible leaders within their homes, churches, communities, and businesses, which is the calling of all men.
     B. Enlisting men and their families to become involved in investment property projects and building family-centered business models that generate capital and freedom.
         1. Capital is a tool - an essential store of value of our time, talent, and energy that God has given each of us. With it we are enabled to exponentially multiply our ability to accomplish great things for His kingdom.
         2. Freedom of time - freedom to go and come the moment God directs. Many today have chosen businesses and business models that only bring slavery and bondage to those under it's control. This keeps men from becoming engaged in what they may feel God has for their lives. Starting with the correct business model not only produces the greatest potential for cash-flow, but also gives great freedom to personally participate in God's work around the world.


100% of all proceeds given to this ministry are funneled directly into missions. There are no paid officers or positions within the C.A.M.P. organization.
