Father's Love - Shelbyville

With vans filled up and excitement all around, we took our Dreamers crew to the Louisville Zoo for a day of adventure, laughter, and new memories!

From seeing God’s creativity through the animals to sharing a picnic together, it was a sweet reminder that some of the best moments happen when kids have a safe place to belong, explore, and simply be kids.

We’re grateful for every leader, volunteer, and supporter who helps make days like this possible. Thank you for walking alongside our Dreamers and helping them experience joy, community, and God’s love in tangible ways.

What an incredible week, and what a beautiful way to finish it!

Tonight, these amazing kids took the stage and shared the results of their hard work, dedication, creativity, and courage. We couldn't be more proud of everything they accomplished throughout this camp. From learning music and choreography to working behind the scenes with sound, lighting, and tech, every student played an important role in bringing this showcase to life.

A special thank you to Southeast Christian Church Shelby County Campus for graciously allowing us to use their facility, and to LampLight Theatre for investing in our students and bringing the arts to the children of Father's Love and Shelby County.

What a blessing it was to spend the evening hearing and seeing the love of Jesus shared through song, dance, storytelling, technology, and teamwork. The talents on display were impressive, but the confidence, friendships, and joy that grew throughout the week were even more inspiring.

Thank you to everyone who supported these students and joined us for this special night.

Day 2 of Theater Camp was filled with imagination, laughter, and growing confidence! Our campers continued developing their acting skills through fun games, creative activities, memorizing songs and lines, and scene work, as well as set building, sound and lighting skills. It's been exciting to watch new friendships form and see each student become more comfortable expressing themselves on stage.
