It was always a challenge to find suitable dates or a place that met our specific needs, whether regarding the teenagers or the financial issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Having our own place had always been a dream. We prayed for a camp, but it seemed like a very distant reality\u2026 <em>\u201cIf one day Joy! has a property, it will be because God made it fall from heaven.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Right after the pandemic, this desire grew stronger, and Edmur and Jorge began researching some possibilities. However, whenever the realtor asked what the budget was, the answer was always the same: <em>\u201czero\u2026\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the end of 2022, in one of these searches, they visited a property owned by a brother in the faith. As they shared the dream and the reality, this dear brother offered us, as a gift, a piece of land to build a camp\u2026 It seemed like a dream, but also a great challenge!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We had no idea that this gift would be the spark that led us to where we are now.<br>Many friends of Joy! in the U.S. joined in to invest in this dream. Our desire was to build on the donated land, but the cost and challenges were too high. Some of these people, with great experience in construction, camps, and ministry, advised us to look for something already built \u2014 or at least close to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, we began 2024 with this challenge: to find a property that could meet at least a good part of the ministry\u2019s needs for camps. It was a long journey, with many visits to different places. We always placed this search before God, understanding that we are missionaries answering a call, not investors or big land negotiators\u2026 and God blessed us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By the end of 2024, we found this place in Piracaia\/SP, just 9 km from Atibaia and only 40 minutes from Campinas and S\u00e3o Paulo. It is almost 60,000 m\u00b2 with a fantastic structure: an industrial kitchen capable of feeding 200 people, a beautiful dining hall, a gourmet area, chalets, a pool, a lake, and a game room. The property also includes a main house, an artesian well, and solar panels that provide electricity for the entire camp.<\/p>\n\n \n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\n\t\t<div  class=\"block-b4ac16f9-16b0-422f-9f8d-509b5d9f3eb6 areoi-strip areoi-element strip alignfull local-foto-principal  bg-parallax\">\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<div class=\"areoi-background  \">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"container-fluid\" style=\"padding: 0;\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"row justify-content-start\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col \">\n\t\t\t            <div class=\"areoi-background__color\" \n\t                        \tstyle=\"background: rgba(239, 229, 206,1)\">\n\t                        <\/div>\n\n\t                    \n\t                        \t<div class=\"areoi-background__image\" style=\"background-image:url(https:\/\/acampamentojoy.com.br\/campanha\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/local-1.png)\"><\/div>\n\t                        \n\n\t                    \n\n\t                    \n\t    \t\t\t<\/div>\n\t    \t\t<\/div>\n\t    \t<\/div>\n\t    <\/div>\n\t\n\t\t\t\n\n\t\t<div  class=\"block-d6d6b72d-9457-41c9-b3c2-ad42fd97ed68 areoi-element container\">\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n\t\t<div  class=\"block-63e39fda-95ed-4e05-981c-3c558bb2d0aa row areoi-element\">\n\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\n\n\t\t<div  class=\"block-5ef5c802-3db3-400c-aa64-91331956bafb col areoi-element\">\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t \n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\n\t\t<div  class=\"block-5cf7f268-f0b6-46b1-ba8a-fd57d314ff5c areoi-strip areoi-element strip alignfull pt-5 has-background-beige-light-color\">\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n\t\t<div  class=\"block-d59b1aa5-c005-4bc0-ba3c-a1752ea28d93 areoi-element container\">\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n\t\t<div  class=\"block-4576afe0-a236-4dd6-ae68-08408bcc32ec row areoi-element\">\n\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\n\n\t\t<div  class=\"block-15d4461c-951a-4ffe-833d-a421e93a78dc col areoi-element has-green-dark-color long-text text-start col-12 col-lg-10 col-xl-8 offset-0 offset-lg-1 offset-xl-2\">\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Currently, the property can host between 60 and 70 people.
