And we're off!

Wow, what a crazy couple of weeks here since school got out. We have been in full form this summer with mission trips, summer school, swimming lessons, work... which includes BlastZones! This is our summer VBS program where instead of having 1 big event week at the church building we are hosting 13 different Blast"Zones" around the area. This is our 3rd year with it and its really taking off. Last week between 2 different sites we ran 53 kids - 70% of them Non-north pointers. And thats what we're looking for, we really want (and need) our kids at these zones but we want to reach more un-churched kids for Christ. This week, again with 2 sites, we have had 67 kids!!! Not sure on the percentages yet but we are so excited about this! With 9 more to go this is gearing up to be a great summer. Watching the kids, you can see on their faces that they get it, something that is harder to see with the bigger event. Not that one is better than the other - just something that North Point is trying out to see if we can reach more kids. Thats what its all about (are you singing the tune in your head?)

Tomorrow Emma and I take off for Teddy Bear Camp at Rock River Christian Camp. We are both looking forward to our little get away, just one night but fun none the less! Although I heard something about an early morning hike on Saturday - 2 bad words there, early and hike! Not sure I signed up for that!
