Why Barachel? Barachel means “ one whom God has blessed”. In the early 60’s, Tim's father started a camp in Eastern Pennsylvania for inner city youth called Camp Barachel. His father would take local youth and group of counselors to camp in the mountains. They would experience God's creation in nature, while receiving a chance to respond to God's personal invitation: to experience God's forgiveness and have a life changing relationship through Jesus Christ.
Our Desire:
What better way to continue and honor what Tim's father started than reach into a culture, whose reputation sometimes keeps them from hearing the gospel and having a real life change. Fort Barachel Foundation wants to open a door and build a bridge, to break into the stereo typical reputation of action sports athletes. Our passion and desire is to show them God's love and compassion. While sharing that God will take them as they are BUT He wants to give them a new life in Christ! To experience life to the fullest (John 10:10) here on earth and with Him for all eternity (John 3:16).
Fort Barachel is a light in the midst of darkness. Creating a safe place FOR ALL to belong and be accepted.
Each month we offer Serve Opportunities @ Fort B.: Operation Serve (we call- Serve Opps.) Engaging our community for impact while serving those in need here and around the world.
We would love to build an Action Sports Complex! To offer after school programing and mentorship for those who need help in school and safe place to ride. To host action sports events. A place for each individual to be a part of something bigger than themselves.
Together your small amount of change (#changegivingapp), in addition to God's unlimited resources, allows us to CHANGE lives forever.
