**MISSION CAMP 2022**
We were able to take 9 youth guys & girls to Clinton, MS for a short mission camp this past week and had such a great time!
We were able to be the hands and feet of Christ as we served at the Methodist Children’s Home, the Christians in Action children’s shelter, & Shower Power! We loved on kids, told Bible stories, made & grilled hamburgers & hot dogs, and did lots of slipping & sliding! We sorted clothes and made snack bags for the homeless. And we were also able to gift (and put together) a new basketball goal to the shelter for some sweet, basketball-loving kids!
We had morning devotions with our group before heading out each day. And we ended our days with worship from Michael Vaughn & Tom Edwards and a good word from Matt Scopel. Matt was able to preach on our mission for the week - One God. One Mission. One Love. On Sunday morning, we attended a beautiful church service at Pine Lake church.
And it’s not a true youth camp without lots of FUN! We played lots of foosball & pool in our cottage. There may or may not have been a tortilla slap challenge one night!😅 There was lots of karaoke in the van! We also got to float the Okatoma River in kayaks and jump at the Defy trampoline park!
These kids grew so much while we were gone and we loved seeing them come out of their shell! So proud of their hearts and ready to watch them grow even more as we are back home!
Parents, thank you for trusting us with your kids! We had the BEST time!❤️
