I HISTORY
n 1999, thirty pastors assembled to cast the vision for a summer program that would cater to the spiritual needs of youth in the South Florida region. From this meeting, Florida Apostolic Camp (FAC) was born.
FAC was designed to foster unity, increase fellowship, and enhance the spiritual development of Apostolic youth in an annual summer retreat setting. Youth camp quickly became a summer tradition for families from churches throughout the United States, Canada, the Caribbean, and the United Kingdom. By 2001, the farreaching effects of FAC was unquestionable. The leadership of FAC realized that this vision could no longer be limited to age or location. It was then that Florida Apostolic Camp became Apostolic Camp International (ACI). ACI is strategically designed to position youth to positively impact the global community, empowering them to demonstrate core Christian values, while possessing a Christ-centered character. This is achieved through balanced programs, opportunities for fellowship, teaching, preaching and spiritual growth that is grounded in The Word of God. This year, 2019, we celebrate 20 years of ACI. Since the beginning, the mission has remained the same: “Taking Apostolic Youth to a Higher Dimension!” Over the years, ACI has served numerous campers from approximately 136 assemblies, and 496 souls (and counting!) have received the Gift of the Holy Ghost during camp. As a 2019 camper, you are now a part of the journey, heritage, and legacy of ACI. You are a part of ACI’s history and future. Let’s go higher!

WELCOME
HELLO CAMPERS! The summer’s most anticipated event – Apostolic Camp International – is here! Welcome to the remarkable grounds of Southeastern University, this year’s home for ACI, as we engage you in a dynamic Christ-centered program that we trust will exceed your expectations! It’s hard to believe that 20 years have gone by. Truly, God has been good. We began this program with one objective: “Taking Apostolic Youth to a Higher Dimension.” The ACI staff has worked diligently to prepare for your arrival, and we expect a wonderful week of worship, edification, fellowship, and much more. We believe your ACI experience will be enjoyable and life-changing. If there is anything we can do facilitate this, please don’t hesitate to contact any member of the staff. Thank you for being a part of ACI 2019! In His Service,
Bro. Dwayne A. Stewart Director, Apostolic Camp International 6

ACI – THE GOD ORDAINED JOURNEY
Apostolic Camp International (ACI) is a remarkable God-ordained journey. I’m indeed thankful to God for giving us this vision in 1999 and for the many faithful partners who have kept the vision alive, affording us this opportunity to celebrate 20 years of indescribable joy, sacrificial excellence in service, anointed preaching/teaching, and Holy Ghost outpouring. It is impossible and, thankfully, unnecessary for me find the words that will do justice to the journey that is ACI, as the success of the journey is best seen and shared by all of us who are living testimonies of the positive difference ACI has made on our lives, both socially and spiritually. In 1999, God assembled and ordained a staff to give leadership to ACI. For the most part, that staff is still together today. He first chose Minister Mark Brown and then Sis. Michelle Thompson to give leadership to the amazing team, until Bro. Dwayne Stewart was elevated to lead three years ago. Please join me in celebrating the chosen leaders of this Godordained Journey that is ACI. When we started the journey at Lake Geneva the inaugural ACI theme was: “My God, Me, My Destiny.” For 20 years, we have remained committed to that theme. That commitment must not change during “The Amazing Race,” for as we grow “Deeper In God,” He will “Ignite” a passion in all of us to “Live the GOSPEL” throughout every stage of the journey. By obedience to the Word and submission to Holy Spirit, we have kept ACI focused on the “One Way” path directed to the eternal Destination. It is my hope and prayer that this new generation of Apostolic youth will stay on course and spiritually “Check Your Pulse” along the way. “For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.” 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 (KJV) S. Robert Stewart Pastor, Pentecostal Tabernacle International
