Bite Me!

It's that time again!! Check out our latest Minute to Win It Challenge...




All the other challenges have required the students to be chosen BEFORE they know what the challenge is, but since this one requires a high level of flexibility we let the teams choose their representative after they heard the instructions...

Box 1 - 10,000 points
Box 2 - 20,000 points
Box 3 - 50,000 points
Box 4 - 100,000 points
Box 5 - 200,000 points
Bonus - 250,000 points

Saturday Morning!

It's Saturday morning here at camp! Our last full day together! Typically the last day/night is the all out "Come to Jesus" push...But not here. Not for us. And not because we just like to be different, but honestly, it's been happening all week. From day one, from the time the very first worship song was sang hearts were being broken and prepared and the next steps. God has been speaking some amazing things to and through these students and the one thing that has been witnessed day after day here is that GOD ANSWERS OUR PRAYERS!

It's impossible to explain or even try to describe the atmosphere of seeking and yearning after God that we are in the midst of here. These students are so hungry...They are crying out and DESPERATELY wanting something that is REAL. Something that will fill them to the depths of their soul where the satisfactions of this world and people around them have let them down so many times.

Pray for us today that in every moment and every activity that each of us can be completely open to the movement of the Holy Spirit through this group. That lives will continue to be wrecked and put back together in a way that can only be done by a God that only wants to give each of us a life so abundant we can't even begin to comprehend!

I hope you get to hear the stories...The one's that would blow your mind and give you crazy chill bumps. The one's that attest to the fact that this is all SO MUCH BIGGER than us, yet perfectly planned out for each of us. The one's that we're coming back to tell because there's no other way to explain what's been happening here!

Friday Night Dance Party!

Meet Jesse...

Photobucket

One our special guests here for last night and tonight. He's hanging out teaching us some awesome dances to some fun (and clean!) music!

So this video doesn't make us look like the most coordinated group (or maybe we're just lacking in the Square Dancing department!), but keep an eye on those two guys in the background...



A little Cha Cha Slide...



Walking through a new one...



And trying it out!


Everyone had a blast, but I think we're gonna have to let that room air out a while! Wow! Dancing really works up a sweat!!



Dizzy Mummy!

A little more Minute to Win It action for ya from last night!!



Completing the challenge gets you 100,000 points for your team...But remember, if the toilet paper breaks it's all over!

Friday Afternoon

Welcome to the Super Slide! Where we spent our afternoon cooling off!! It doesn't really matter how tight you hang on to your tube because chances are you're gonna flip off (or be pushed off!) at some point anyways! Hang on long enough and get up enough speed and you end up in the mud! Think you're just gonna stand back and watch and not go down? You better not put up a fight or you'll learn the hard way like Emily and Chad!

Looks fun doesn't it?? It was! Sorry you had to miss it! (Well, your kids aren't sorry...You probably would've just embarrassed them if you broke out your "Ride 'em cowboy!" moves like Gabe and Marlene!!)

More to come later!!
