Krosstalk.

Last night was Krosstalk night, the night the Kampers see the gospel presentation. In years past we have done this is numerous ways from a gladiator themed analogy to a mock wedding. This summer Kampers walk the Emmaus trail and witness seven characters dialogue about their encounters with Jesus. Mary Magdelene, Paul, John the Baptist, Peter, The Woman at the Well, Zacchaeus, and the Roman soldier who arrested Jesus all give their own perspective of how Jesus changed their lives. Wrapping up the night Kampers sit beneath a big wooden cross as Chancey presents the gospel.






Its is a night that we cover in prayer and a night we see the Holy Spirit move in big ways! When a Kamper asks Jesus into their heart they head up to the office a ring a bell. We heard that bell ringing all night long! Praise the Lord!

Character Traits.

This summer we are focusing on character: the character of God and character qualities that we as believers are called to live by. Each TP is assigned a different character trait that they spend the week learning about, studying in scripture and applying to their lives. We encourage you, as parents, to continue the study and application of your child's character quality after they leave Kamp!

The following is a list of the TP character traits:

TP 1. Honesty
TP 2. Patience
TP 3. Forgiveness
TP 4. Joyfulness
TP 5. Kindness
TP 6. Respect
TP 7. Teamwork
TP 8. Unselfishness
TP 9. Faithfulness
TP 10. Integrity
TP 11. Perseverance
TP 12. Passion
TP 13. Compassion
TP 14. I'm Third

How fun would it be to spend the week studying the same character trait as your child?! That sounds like great a conversation for the drive home from Kamp!

Kamp Begins!

There are a few bugs were working through in order to post videos on the blog so until we get those worked out I'll put the "Meet the Leadership Team" posts on hold.

Well, today marked our first official day of kamp! Staff training was great but we are SO glad to finally have Kampers here! They arrived starting at 2pm yesterday and we've been going full force since then! Last night was our Opening Ceremonies and it was awesome! We met Woody, Buzz, The Potato Heads and Bo Peep from Toy Story! I have a feeling they might make another appearance this week.

Our theme for the summer is Game On. Today we learned the "g" stands for goodness coming from James 1:3:

"Count it all joy my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know the testing of your faith produces steadfastness."

Kampers have spent today in classes ranging from Basketball to Blob to our brand new Slip-n-Slide and are eagerly awaiting our Wipeout party tonight!

It's only day 1 and we can already tell this is going to be the best summer yet!

Game On!
