Our Story
Mark and Lynn Gordon
My name is Mark Gordon and the Lord gave me a burden through my testimony of coming to know him as my personal savior, to reach people through a family campground. Although it has been a bumpy road, I stayed obedient to what the Lord was speaking to my heart to do. As I put the burden of a campground on paper and in thought, the Lord blessed me in many ways. Stepping out by faith with nothing but a vision is a very difficult thing to do, but knowing his power through saving me, I knew nothing was too difficult for the Lord. In trusting the Lord every step of the way, I knew there would be a More To Life Campground somewhere. Although not knowing where was killing me.

Then in April of 2004, after months of meeting and praying about the plans for More To Life Campground, the Lord put an already established Christian Campground in our grasp. He has answered our prayers and supplied the perfect place for our mission. Although buying the property meant selling everything I had, I was willing to do it. I know the More To Life Campground, will be a better place because of the way the Lord has put his plan into place. When you come to More To Life Campground, I want you to experience every last detail the Lord gave me in my vision through seeing and feeling in your heart. One thing I have learned is that if you are willing to open your heart to the Lord, he will so something mighty with it. The Lord has used a 34 year old man who sat on his couch two and a half years ago with his wife sharing all of his sorrows and heartaches the world had to offer with a man he didn�t even know. The Lord used this man to share the good news of Jesus Christ with us. With tears flowing down our faces, we asked the Lord to forgive us of our sins and to come into our hearts and save us. Please pray for the More To Life Campground, and we hope to see you and meet you soon. God Bless you.
Bill and Carol Gordon
This may sound strange, but Carol and I were blessed by God after my doctor told me I had cancer. All of our married life we felt we were missing something; we tried going to a few churches, even tried Amway because of the positive thinking and meeting people who were looking for that missing link too. Then in the year 2000, while I was having a yearly checkup for my diabetes, my PSA in my blood showed a change. The doctor discovered that I had prostate cancer. I figured I had better get Carol and myself to church to start doing
a lot of praying. After my unbelievable operation, my cousin sent his pastor to visit me because he was too sick to come himself. After a couple of visits to our house, Pastor Tolbert led us to salvation. Carol and I immediately started seeing things differently and our greatest burden became to tell everyone about Jesus Christ. We have been blessed many more times than we deserve, and one of those blessings was when our son Mark, his wife Lynn, and their two children Lindsey and Billy, asked the Lord to forgive them of their sins and into their hearts and received salvation. The Lord has spoken to our hearts and commanded us to sell our homestead of 31 years to serve through More To Life Christian Campground. Please pray for us.
