Rules

admin — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 06:02:09 +0000

Springs of Life Camp (Manantiales de Vida) exists as a result of prayer…a place where people can come to know the Lord and where believers can grow in their faith and be discipled. Springs of Life has been developed through the sacrifice of many – as much physical sacrifice as economic. We want everything done here to be to the glory of God. Therefore we ask that everyone help take care of the camp and everything in it. The director of each group should keep in mind that he/she is responsible to the director of Springs of Life Camp.

General Rules

About Us

admin — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 05:39:52 +0000

Purchased in 1980 by Avant Ministries, Springs of Life Camp was a former farm which has been renovated into a modern camp and conference center. The 88-acre site is located 25 miles north of Malaga. Nestled between the mountains, 2/3 of the property is planted with pine trees. Manantiales de Vida, the Spanish name for the camp, was named for the ﬁve underground water springs on the property, coupled with the spiritual signiﬁcance of the “living water” found in Jesus Christ. Each year around 3000 people enjoy the refreshing atmosphere of the camp.

Glenn and Sue Ashcraft arrived in Spain in 1985 with Avant Ministries. After serving on a church planting team in Malaga, they moved to the camp in 1997. Glenn is the camp director and Sue the bookkeeper.

Fernando Clos Campos and Cristina Rojas are from Algeciras, Spain. They were employed at another Christian camp in Spain before coming on staff at Springs of Life in 2003. Fernando is the maintenance man.
