Calum's BASECAMP Testimony: "My whole life was transformed"

12/5/2020

 
In 2016, high-school graduate Calum Hood accepted an invitation to attend BASECAMP men's conference with other men from his local church. It was a life-changing experience that empowered him to return year after year and to even pursue full-time ministry. We thank God for the opportunity to hear and share his story!

My name is Calum Hood and I currently attend Camden Haven Anglican Church. I first heard about BASECAMP in 2016 through my local church and attended as I wanted to spend a weekend focusing on God and his calling for my life, with hundreds of other like-minded men. Meeting in an old train yard and hearing the faithful preaching of Jesus compelled me to continue to come year after year, to be washed over with his word with a great crowd of faithful men alongside me.

Renewing my strength at BASECAMP is so fundamental to me as I can get away from normal life to spend the whole weekend focusing on Jesus. This conference has helped me to look at myself in the mirror of his word and to see myself as I really am - a broken man in need of daily grace. It has helped me to become a more faithful leader and to guide others to Christ.

Over the last 2 years, hearing Paul Tripp speak and being able to soak in the wisdom that he pours out is so amazing. I actually continue to listen to the sermons from previous years all the time. I think I have listened to each talk over 150 times as I continue to learn more each time.

At the 2018 BASECAMP, I broke down crying at the end of the last session and heard the calling of God on my life to step up into full time ministry, so the following year, I started my internship at Word of Life Youth Ministries. I praise God that I do what I do because of BASECAMP conference.

Honestly, if you are unsure about the conference, I couldn’t recommend it to anyone more, as my whole life was changed there. Even as a full-time missionary, BASECAMP is something that I will continue to go to every year. I prioritise the event because 
I see God working so much through it, speaking to all men in all walks of life. I cannot wait to see you there this year! 

Renew your strength at BASECAMP
