Pacesetters Camp offers
basic training in Christian serviceDALLAS–Youth from as far away as Idaho camped out at Dallas Baptist University this summer for basic training in servanthood.
About 200 teenagers participated in DBU's Pacesetters Camp, where they learned about both faith and work.
Jamie Lash, DBU director of Student Development, teamed up with Loftin to create Pacesetters because he was interested in combining his teaching ministry with Glowing Heart's music ministry. He plays an integral role in the camp, teaching and preparing the students for their service projects around the Dallas/Fort Worth area.
