In 1995, Larry Wymore, a construction worker and Sunday School teacher in Waco, Texas, began praying about starting a camp ministry for families who could not afford other camps. As the leader of a young couple's Sunday School class, he encountered firsthand the difficulty many church members faced when attempting to attend a sought after marriage conference or couple's retreat. Inspired by the biography of George Müller, an orphanage operator who shunned fundraising and instead prayed for all the ministry's financial needs, Larry envisioned founding a campground that also ran on a faith-basis.
