Many who are not connected with any church, and who appear wholly unmindful of the claims of God, are not at heart as indifferent as they seem. Even the most irreligious have their hours of conviction, when there comes to them a longing for something they have not. In every town and city there are large numbers who do not attend any place of worship. Many of these are attracted to the camp meeting. Many come who are slaves of sin, the helpless victims of evil habits. Many are convicted and converted. As they by faith grasp the promise of God for the forgiveness of their sins, the bondage of habit is broken. Forsaking their sinful indulgences, they become freemen in Christ Jesus, and rejoice in the liberty of the sons of God. This is the work to be done in all our camp meetings. Through this means thousands will be won to Christ. {6T 71.2}

Mange af dem, der ikke har forbindelse med en menighed og som tilsyneladende er helt upåvirket af Guds krav, er ikke af hjertet så ligegyldige, som de giver udseende af. Selv de mest gudløse har stunder da regnskabet tynger og hvor de længes efter noget, de ikke har. I alle mindre og større byer er der mange, der aldrig kommer til gudstjeneste, men en hel del af dem føler sig tiltrukket af friluftsmøder. Mange af dem er syndens slaver, hjælpeløse ofre for dårlige vaner. Mange bliver overbevist og omvendt. Når de i tro griber Guds løfte om syndstilgivelse, brydes vanens magt. De afstår fra syndige laster og glæder sig som Guds døtre og sønner over den frihed, Kristus har frigjort dem til.] Dette skal ske ved alle vore lejrmøder. [Kristus alene side 309-310]
