Called to Greatness · 2026 Go Deeper

Dear Beloved Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

Grace and peace to you in the wonderful name of our Lord Jesus Christ. It is a great joy to welcome you to the Annual Family Camp 2026. I believe God has brought us together with a divine purpose. As we gather under the inspiring theme to “Go Deeper”, let us take this time to remember our true calling as believers in Christ Jesus is to have a deeper relationship with Him, as He so desires for us to abide in Him and Him in us, that we may bear much fruit (John 15:4)

This is more than a gathering. May this camp challenge us to rise above complacency, deepen our relationship with Christ and pursue the high calling God has placed upon our lives. Let us lay aside any distraction and allow the Holy Spirit to shape us into faithful disciples who will make a lasting impact for His kingdom.

Let us leave this camp renewed in faith, united in love & purpose and determined to strive for the greatness that brings glory to God and advances His kingdom. May God bless you all, and may this camp leave a lasting impact on your lives.

Dear Camp Participants,

Shalom!

It is a joy to welcome you to the 2026 UPCWMD Annual Family Camp Meeting in Kampar. As always, we are looking forward to a great time of renewal, revival and wholesome fellowship as a body of Christ.

The theme for this year is “Go Deeper.” Every believer has a choice of remaining at the surface level in their relationship with God or going deeper in love, understanding and appreciation of His Words and Ways. On behalf of the District Leadership, it is our desire that each one makes it their aim to pursue God intentionally and experience yet another fresh encounter with Him during this time. I encourage everyone to attend each service with faith and expectation in the Lord. He is a God who understands, answers prayers and brings healing. I trust we will leave with clarity and direction for the next season of our lives.

We wish to thank the speakers, Brother Bean and Brother Vestal, as well as their precious wives, for being willing and available to minister God’s Word to us. We trust that the messages they bring will impact our lives significantly.

Let us also be intentional in fellowship, praying for others and making new friends. Sometimes it is a prayer with somebody at the altar or an exchange of testimonies of God’s goodness over a meal that God uses to edify us. May God use each one of us unto His glory! Be blessed and be a blessing. Have a great camp!

Sincerely,
Joel Charles
District Leader

Hello Everybody,

Greetings to all of you in West Malaysia from Johnson City, Tennessee, United States of America.

It is a joy to come and be with you for this Annual Family Camp. Our theme is “Go Deeper,” and we are believing that God is going to take us deeper and farther and higher than we have ever been before.

There is more in Him than we have known so far, so come hungry and come expectant. I can’t wait to see what God is going to do.

My family will be with me, and we are looking forward to meeting each one of you. Let’s see what God is going to do. God bless you in Jesus’ name.

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

We come once again to this wonderful time of spiritual refreshing. The theme for this year’s Called to Greatness is “Go Deeper.” The Apostle Paul greatly desired that his saints would deepen their knowledge of Jesus Christ when he wrote:

“That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; and to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.” — Ephesians 3:17–19

In just two verses, Paul describes close fellowship with Jesus four different ways: “Christ dwelling in your heart,” “being rooted and grounded in love,” “knowing the love of Christ,” and “filled with all the fulness of God.” If Paul were to condense his instructions into one statement, he might have simply said, “go deeper.”

This week, we desire to go deeper into the things of the Spirit, and Jesus beckons us, invites us to a deeper walk with Him, a deeper knowledge of His love, a deeper understanding of His will for our lives.

Brothers and sisters, this is a week of visitation! Let us be renewed with power from on high. Let us be strengthened in His love, and let us go deeper in Him than ever before.

Yours in Christ,
Rev. Lonnie Vestal
