What is CFO?

The Origin of CFO Glenn
Clark, the founder
of CFO, was a man who knew the power of prayer through personal
experience. When he sought to share his dynamic faith in God, the dream
of the Camps Farthest Out became a reality. The first CFO camp was held
in 1930, and there are now well over a hundred camps in North America
and around the world. As Glenn Clark described it, "The Camps Farthest
Out are dedicated to the purpose of discovering the wholeness of that
abundant life which Christ promised, that life which is our rightful
heritage whenever we dedicate our body, mind and soul completely to God
through play, work and worship.”Camps
Farthest Out are non-denominational Christian gatherings which provide
an opportunity to receive spiritual, mental, and physical renewal. The
purpose of this rejuvenation is to return to His world to better serve
Him in His Church, in our families, in business, and wherever He may
lead. CFO can be characterized as a spiritual training ground, a time
apart from the turmoil of everyday life to practice, in the midst of
experiencing, the warm presence of Jesus, the love of the Father, and
the guidance of the Holy Spirit. It is an adventure in finding the
wholeness of life in Jesus Christ, as well as a period of uniting
Christians of all denominations for prayer, spiritual growth and
healing.
