Passport Youth Camp
Posted on July 30th, 2009
On July 19 to 24, eleven of our youth, together with the youth from Tar Wallet Baptist Church attended Passport Youth Camp at Wingate University in North Carolina. The theme of the week was “[re]mix” which led the youth to an inward journey of introspection and discipleship. Students were reminded that Christ is the Reconciler and the Rebuilder of lives and that God accepts who we are, whatever we bring too Him and re-creates us as we seek to follow Him. It was a transformative time for many of our youth and they came back full of renewed energy, passion and enthusiasm in their faith journey. Many thanks to Jordan Whiley, Kim Davis and Julie Gaines for chaperoning this trip and for the congregation for their prayers and support!

Passport Kids! 2009
Posted on June 23rd, 2009
Five of our children attended Passport Kids! camp at Eagle Eyrie, and it was an awesome experience! This year’s camp theme is that each of us can be a “HERO.” Each day, we learned one characteristic of a true hero in Christ:
H – hope (1 Timothy 4:10)
E – encouragement (1 Thessalonians 5:11)
R – responsibility (Mark 2:1-12)
O – obedience (John 14:15)
The campers also learned about India and the various ministries that missionaries are undertaking in that country. On day two, campers actually made recycled paper out of old newspapers for use in a “moveable school” in India. That night, the camp was transformed into an Indian Market, so that campers could learn more about India’s culture, food, sports, and religions.
On the third night, everyone enjoyed a “variety show”/”superhero” ball. Our group performed a skit and a song, and that was a big hit.
Every day, the kids also had a “camper’s choice” rotation, chosing among crafts, sports, drama and worship leadership, etc.
Our only regret is that one of our would-be campers got sick and couldn’t come with us.
Thanks to everyone who supported the kids with financial support, encouragement, and prayers.
