The Navigators’ Metro Ministry

Our Eagle Lake Camps summer programs blend fun and spiritual growth into one of the best camp experiences around.  We offer a choice of programs with our premier Overnight Camps for ages 7-18, a quality Day Camp at Glen Eyrie, and multiple programs across the country through Eagle Lake On Location for ages 7-12.  The Eagle Lake Camps are run by The Navigators, whose ministry is focused on loving and serving Christ through discipleship.  Our goal is to carry forward Christ’s instructions to make disciples who in turn make other disciples.

One of The Navigators ministries is the Metro Mission, which is a group of ordinary men and women with an extraordinary passion for igniting hope centered on Jesus Christ and his Word.  The mission involves getting together groups of devoted friends in cities across the U.S. who team up to be, do, and speak the Good News of Jesus.

Many of the men and women who serve the Metro Mission do it on a part-time basis.  The mission partners with local churches and reaches out to a multitude of groups that include ex-convicts, businessmen and women, immigrants, stay-at-home moms, urban children and young adults.    

Our city ministries include the work being done by NavConnect that connects people with the community and resources all with the goal of disciples encouraging and building up each other as they go out to disciple others.  Via Affirmativa, which means “the way of affirmation,” is the intersection of faith and art and seeks to affirm that creative spirit and inspire all whom we encounter to live in redemptive creativity.

 

The Ethnic Ministry is our commitment to reach out to ethnic minorities that live right here in America. Lastly our Workplace Ministry is about living out the grace and truth of Jesus in our workplace and integrating our faith daily throughout our work day.

If you share our same passion to share Christ with your neighbors, your coworkers, and your city, join us!  We want to ignite hope in the city, and help you to do the same.

Eagle Lake Camps were founded by The Navigators Christian Ministry and offer exciting adventures for overnight campers ages 8-18, and day camps packed with fun-filled activities geared for ages 7-12.  Our programs have a Christ-centered focus that helps to promote spiritual growth and provide value, safety and fun for each camper.  Please contact us to learn more about our summer camps . 

Navigator Ministries throughout the World

Many of you are acquainted with us through our wonderful Eagle Lake Camps in the Colorado Springs area and Eagle Lake On Location programs that are spread out across the country.  You may not be as familiar with The Navigators International Ministries that has been helping to introduce Jesus to those who do not know Him since 1933 and now serves more than 1,200 cross-cultural missionaries in 107 countries.

Empowered by the Holy Spirit, The Navigators’ international advancement of the Gospel overseas is done primarily through two ministries, NavMissions and Discipling for Development.  Our work of launching disciplemaking ministries across the globe and making disciples among all nations follows in the footsteps of our founder, Dawson Trotman.  The Navigators first overseas mission was to China in 1949.

As one of our U.S. international ministries, NavMissions sends Americans that wish to serve as missionaries overseas and then sustains them throughout the course of their stay.  NavMissions supports missionaries in over 50 countries, from North and South America to Africa, Europe, Asia, Australia, and the Pacific.  Many of our missionaries are in areas where people have historically been resistant to the Gospel, which is why we make sure to sustain and disciple all of our overseas workers to enable them to disciple to others.  

The other major arm of our international ministries is Discipling for Development, which is dedicated to discipling people, developing communities, and transforming lives in impoverished areas throughout Africa.  Since so many of the small villages lack the required basic necessities for healthy living conditions, sufficient food, and economic hope, Discipling for Development works to transform their thinking and behavior. 

We empower the community to create their own solutions and show them how to reproduce this process in others.   It is The Navigators way of enabling people to become all that God intended for them to be instead of just simply meeting their short-term needs.
