About CFO
CFO Founder Glenn Clark, the founder of CFO,
was a man who knew the power of prayer through personal experience.
When he sought to share his dynamic faith in God, the dream of the
Camps Farthest Out became a reality. The first CFO camp was held in
1930, and there are now well over a hundred camps in North America and
around the world. As Glenn Clark described it, "The Camps Farthest Out
are dedicated to the purpose of discovering the wholeness of that
abundant life which Christ promised, that life which is our rightful
heritage whenever we dedicate our body, mind and soul completely to God
through play, work and worship.”
Camps Farthest Out are non-denominational Christian
gatherings which provide an opportunity to receive spiritual, mental,
and physical renewal. The purpose of this rejuvenation is to return to
His world to better serve Him in His Church, in our families, in
business, and wherever He may lead. CFO can be characterized as a
spiritual training ground, a time apart from the turmoil of everyday
life to practice, in the midst of experiencing, the warm presence of
Jesus, the love of the Father, and the guidance of the Holy Spirit. It
is an adventure in finding the wholeness of life in Jesus Christ, as
well as a period of uniting Christians of all denominations for prayer,
spiritual growth and healing.
CFO IS AN OPPORTUNITY:
- To come into balance spiritually, mentally, and physically.
- To train to be an "Athlete of the Spirit."
- To have fellowship with others seeking and finding God.
- To discover one's true self through Jesus Christ.
- To learn to pray and for discovering the power of prayer.
- To live in the Kingdom of Heaven, here and now.
- To find inner peace.
CFO IS NOT:
- A church. All campers are urged
to faithfulness in the church of their choice. Indeed, the CFO
experience expands and intensifies the effectiveness of one's own
church activity.
- An organization. There is nothing to join. Rather we
are a living, growing organism with the goal of growth through the
development of our personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
