Legacy Builders

Impacting Generations

Chateau, Judy’s Pond, Chapel Point, Mosquito Island, and Derbyshire Lodge are some of the favorite places that make up 220 acres called Camp lawah. Since 1956 lawah has been a place that thousands of people have looked back on as “that place”, “that key turning point”, “that incredible summer”, where faith was ignited, character matured, relationships were built and lifetime memories were made. The results are clear. Many have gone out from lawah to impact their world with their character, faith, and leadership skills.

Now more than ever lawah plays a key role in a person’s spiritual and leadership journey. Social media saturates kids and adults with messages that shape and disciple them. lawah is positioned to come alongside people, invest, and shape lives with truth and grace. This is why Legacy Builders is so important.

Legacy giving is your opportunity to ensure the longevity and growth of a dynamic ministry.

 Your gift becomes a legacy that impacts future generations and carries forward the work we’ve done together in a meaningful way. It  enables us to,

  • Teach the biblical worldview, introducing people to Jesus and a life of being His disciple
  • Enable our vision of becoming a key strategic leadership center in eastern Ontario
  • Reach beyond our Canadian borders giving a global vision
  • Enrich deep community experiences that help people connect in a very lonely and isolated world

Will You Consider a Legacy Gift? We invite you to explore the options for legacy giving with your family and financial planner. Align your values and financial goals while choosing to sow the seeds of faith through your legacy and you’ll help us continue our vital mission.
