Team Servant

Team Servant

"The attitude you should have is the one that Christ Jesus had... Of his own free will he gave up all he had, and took the nature of a servant." (Philippians 2:5-8)

The Team Servant program at Highland Lakes Camp is a life-changing missions experience for Christian high school students willing to commit two weeks of their summer vacation to grow in their walk with Christ. Members of the Team Servant program are encouraged to follow the example of our Savior, who came to serve and minister to the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of others. Team Servants are teamed with college-age mentors, and join together daily to study God's Word and learn how to apply Biblical principles of servanthood to their lives in order to become better leaders. Students accepted into this program are also given opportunities to serve in many ways, such as working in the dining hall, cleaning hotel rooms and restrooms, doing maintenance and general work for camp upkeep.

As a member of the Team Servant program, you will have the opportunity to make a positive impact on the lives of many children, youth, and adults throughout the summer, as well as grow personally from the experience of serving others in Jesus' name. Throughout the summer of 2008, over 9300 campers came through the gates of Highland Lakes Camp. Many of these people came to know their Lord in new and wonderful ways, including more than 400 individuals recorded placing their faith in Christ as Savior. None of this would have been possible without the dedicated members of the Team Servant program who tirelessly sacrificed of themselves to meet the needs of these campers.

We at Highland Lakes Camp invite you to see how Christian students from high schools across Texas can minister together to significantly impact the lives of adults, youth, and children. The hours are long and the work is hard, but the rewards are great. The Team Servant program is a physically, spiritually, and emotionally challenging experience that few people walk away from unchanged. If you are looking for a place where you can serve God and others, all the while growing in your relationship with God, then why not step out and become a part of Team Servant?
