Sports Camps

In July we hosted 18 men and women from Second to hold baseball and basketball camps in a local neighborhood park. This year the Lord really guided where the camps would be held. After our original plans fell through we learned the hard way that HIS plans are bigger and better.

We were able to have the camps right beside each other which was nice for everyone.
The baseball camp grew and grew each day. By the end of the week we had over 40 kids!! It was quite the group of boys.

At basketball they had 30 signed up not everyone would come at the same time. They had about 15-20 regulars.

The last night of camp we hosted a huge BBQ for the 50 kids and their parents. Around 10 sets of parents came and Preston and I were able to go around and meet the parents and talk with them about the church.

We really felt like this year was quality on the camps. We were able to connect more with the kids and continue building relationships with some from the past. We are now praying on how to follow up with all these parents and kids that we met. Continue to pray for the faces you see and for this neighborhood as we begin to think about how we can reach it for HIM.

HERE is the Sports Camp Video (thanks Preston!)

Thanks to everyone who prayed for these camps. We did not have rain one camp time. Now, it was HOT but at least we didn't have rain :) A special thanks to everyone who came down and sweat for His glory and for His kingdom. We couldn't have done that week without each and every one of you. We love you all.
