What a wonderful time we had last night for our second evening of BOOT Camp! God was gracious and brought 65 precious kids to us last night. What a privilege it is to teach these wonderful kids about the Lord Jesus Christ!

We are all excited to see what God will do for us tonight. As the song we sang last night says, “God Is Great!”

Here are two video clips: The first one is Private Meeh doing pushups for being a mess-up.

The second one is Private Where doing pushups because the boys answered more questions.

Praise the Lord for a wonderful first night of Vacation Bible School. We had 56 precious children here to hear the Gospel of Jesus Christ and enjoy the good time. I am so thankful for all the ones who have put in so much work, and for those who are continuing to do so. If you are unable to help us this week at VBS, will you pray that God will strengthen us, that He will give us the words to say to these kids, and that His Holy Spirit would touch and change little hearts this week?

If you have nothing to do this evening, you might want to come by and see the opening exercises. It is worth the price of admission. Actually, it’s worth a lot more because the price of admission is free!

Friday night we were blessed to host the Academy of Arts Drama Team from Taylors, SC. However, the young people who tour with the group are from Indiana, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Maine, Tennessee, & Louisiana. They presented “Creation, Evolution, and the Flood.” If you missed it, you missed a real blessing. The salvation message at the end of the presentation was wonderful!

I cannot say enough about the wonderful way they purported themselves. They are a great example of young people showing a servant’s heart and diligent work to “excel” for the Lord Jesus Christ. God bless the Academy of Arts, and Brother Chavers, you would have been pleased and “proud” of this team.

For more information about the Academy of Arts, visit their website.

Here are some pictures of the team:

A few families in our church received the double blessing of hosting some of these fine young people in their homes Friday night.

Below is a video clip of the closing program at Camp Rapidan last week. The campers were divided into two teams, the Crusaders & the Raiders. The team with the most points at the end of camp won, and their opponents’ castle would be destroyed. It is hard to hear the speaker for the fun screams of the campers, but this will give you an idea of the fun the kids had.

We showed this video in the Sunday night Service on 6-22. Below you can find a pdf version of the presentation of the camp pictures.
