Kobie’s Leadership Journey, the Twinkie Relay Patrick Mahomes or Tom Brady, and Fixing the World

Kobie has grown up with the Breakaway camp community. In this podcast episode we discuss his early childhood struggles, coming to camp for the first time at 9-years old, rising in leadership, getting baptized at camp, and making a difference in the world. Of course, any camp conversation wouldn’t be complete without the topic of the Twinkie Relay, and if Kobie is considered the GOAT, aka the Patrick Mahomes or the Tom Brady of this camp “super bowl” event.

“Before the first year at camp, it was the lowest part of my life. I had lost my mother and sister in a tragic car wreck. I was being bullied at school and was planning to commit suicide when I received an invitation with a scholarship to attend Breakaway camp. I decided to put off the suicide plan and attend camp. It was the best decision I ever made. I gave my life to Jesus at camp and then Breakaway helped me get involved with a local church. My life still has ups and downs but I know now that God has me no matter what.”

“I wouldn’t be where I am today if it wasn’t for Breakaway Outreach. My biological father was always incarcerated and I was sent into foster care. I started camp as a tiny little camper and now I get to serve as camp nurse! I graduated from Lee University with my Bachelor of Science in Nursing and I am currently working as a Nursery and Postpartum Nurse. Breakaway Outreach is exactly what it sounds like. It’s an outreach of family and community that all come together because we truly care about God’s children.”
