Every business, nonprofit organization,church, and family have felt the stress ofthe last few years. The pandemic, highinflation, supply chain issues, and thechallenge of finding employees haveweakened many, shut down others, andchallenged us all. On top of all theseshared issues, Camino faced uniquechallenges: we had delayed funding foralmost 7 months, and on July 4th, 2022,we had a fire that devastated our largestfacility. Because of all of these challenges, manywould expect that the following annualreport would be filled with justifiably lowperformance and cutbacks; however, thiswas not the case at all. As a result of ourdedicated and skilled staff, board ofdirectors, donors, volunteers, andpartners, Camino has almost doubled insize and impact! As I reflect on last year, I am renewedin my commitment to the Caminomission, and as I look to the future, Iam filled with great hope. As we startthe year 2023, we are embarking onour 25th year of serving Latinocommunities, and we have never beenstronger and more prepared to fulfillour mission of equipping people tolive healthy, hopeful, and productivelives! I believe that the future isLatino. So, in continuing to serve theLatino community, I know that we areinvesting in a future filled with hope, hard work, and mucho sabor.Thank you for your continued support. In for Life, Rusty PriceFounder & CEO“Camino has almostdoubled in size andimpact!”Letter from the CEO1

church members wereequipped for ministry169people were baptized25people accepted Christ96In 2022, Camino Church had more than 600 new visitors and 85 newmembers, demonstrating exceptional church growth, especially in a postpandemic world. Camino Church is a nondenominational church that equips everyone to live in the freedom thatcomes from an everyday relationship with God. Camino Church is leading the way indesegregation of church, having brought together a predominately white church and a primarilyLatino church to create a unified bilingual, multicultural congregation that includes people whomay not otherwise cross paths. The entire service, including songs, prayer, and worship isprovided in both English and Spanish. Working hand in hand with Camino’s other services(Camino Health Center, Arriba, The WearHouse, Camino Research Institute, and CaminoUniversity) the church has a unique opportunity to reach into communities as the “hands andfeet” of Christ, building deep connections with community members while also referring themback to Camino services to have their physical, mental, and social needs met. In summer 2022, Camino experienced a fire in the church building, displacing the church for 4months. Rather than seeing the fire as a hindrance, the Pastors of Camino Church saw it as anopportunity to take the church outside of the building walls. Church Leadership credits the firefor acting as a catalyst for creating awareness among church members of what was going on inthe local community, ultimately allowing the church to help more people. 25
