The Seattle Times has our story by Dan Burke about the pending closure of the Christian kids camp featured in the movie “Jesus Camp.”

Becky Fischer, the fiery Pentecostal pastor featured in the film, said nasty feedback from the film and vandalism at the campground in Devil’s Lake, N.D. have forced her to either cancel the camp or move it. The Assemblies of God, which owns the campground, told Fischer she could not return because of the vandalism.

An interesting comment from the filmmaker, Rachel Grady, who said the negative reaction to the film has “weighed a little heavy on our hearts:”


Not that we had anything to do with it, but [the campground] wasn’t getting vandalized before the film and it was after it, and we need to acknowledge that,” Grady said.
