SORRY! We're having too much fun!






Hello Splash Parents!

I'm so sorry we haven't posted yet - we haven't had time!

Here's what has happened so far... and if I miss anything, I'm sure your camper will be able to fill you in...

On Sunday afternoon, we had an opening day SAFARI where your campers got to shoot some monkeys out of a tree with paintball markers, learned a tribal dance, played some awesome games on the beach, and then moved into their rooms! After a delicious PIZZA dinner, our campers all got in their groups and came up with their own tribe cheer, which they've been performing every night at SUNSET - a Beulah Beach tradition!

At SUNSET, the MEN cheer against the LADIES and it gets LOUD! A few tribes do their tribe cheer and then we have MEN vs. LADIES TRIVIA... and as of this morning, it is tied 1-1. Thursday night will deem the winner.

Following TRIVIA, our two missionaries in residence Ryan and Lizz Durbin get to share about what God is doing in the country of Senegal. Following their time of sharing, all your campers get on their knees and spend a few minutes just praying for the missionaries in Senegal and God's work there... it's a POWERFUL moment!

And then we go to the MIX - which has been OUT OF CONTROL so far! Not only are your kids having SO MUCH FUN, but God is doing work in the hearts of these kids unlike anything we've seen all summer. On the first night, Summer Camp Director Joel Trainer asked the kids a question. He said, "You get to choose. Do you want to leave here on Friday the same person, or a changed person?" Almost every kid in the HUT came forward and prayed that God would change them this week... and we're seeing it happen. One girl gave her life to Christ last night and rang the bell!!

After a clear, blue, flat lake yesterday, we had some awesome Splash Classes, a great start to our Safari Game Show, and another great MIX last night, where Assistant Programs Director Shea Prisk talked about Faith, and how it's much more than a believe. He challenged them with the question, "What is your faith DOING?" I heard that devotions last night were so good after his message...

The lake is flat again today and now the campers are about to eat some lunch... and tonight is our CROSSWALK, so please pray that God will move in the hearts of these campers!

We'll update soon!
