Camp Jesus

Camp Jesus is the story of a generation that has everything, yet experiences an emptiness. Can religion offer hope in times of confusion? Where does the power of faith lie, and where does the caricature begin? Praise the Lord, Wunderbaum is with us: an ecstatic gathering!

Theatre halls become theatrical cathedrals. Complete with pulpit, altar, intercessory choir, liturgical choirs and gospel rock bands. The pipe organ is replaced by a Hammond, synthesizers, guitars and drums. There are beats and choir songs.

“Sometimes it feels good to leave your reason at the door and enter with your heart. Here you experience a lot of compassion and the strong presence of something spiritual. It is very strong, almost addictive. It has no form, just a feeling. But it really exists. And it is awake. Welcome to Camp Jesus.”
