a much needed update
I have not posted an update in quite awhile. So here is part one ...
Route 56 is going SO well!! There is some stinkin' crazy creavity flowing amongst leaders, the kids are so excited to be a part of this new ministry and we are all about to wet our pants in the anticipation of our upcoming camp!! We were able to meet in our own classroom on Sunday and it was amazing (photos above - I took them so I'm not in either). We played a rowdy game of "Cheeks in the Chair" (made up by Nic, Jael and myself just days before) which ended up being quite a hit - I will have to teach it to you sometime :) We had 25 kids in class and EIGHT were first time visitors. Amazing! The best part was their response to Nic's preaching - FOUR of them accepted Christ!!
It is SO exciting and we are having SO much fun with the group. We are having our FIRST EVER Route 56 Camp this summer ... away ... in the mountains ... in tepee/tent/cabin thingys ... for three nights ... and I can't wait! Nic, Jael and I can't stop thinking about camp - everytime we talk we have a hundred new ideas and every week we have amazing testimonies of the kids and their parents. I am blessed to play a part in establishing Route 56 -- it is so fun and fulfilling to see these kids make their own decision to serve God ... and it's great to play such an influential role in their lives right now!
Last month we planned an "Afternoon Adventure" in which Pastor Julia was kidnapped while we are all playing a game together in the park. A car pulled up, two unidentified men jumped out, the grabbed Pastor Julia and threw her into the trunk while speeding away right in front of the kids. It was amazing! Then they had to spend the rest of the afternoon finding clues that helped lead them to Pastor Julia. They visited Starbucks and were given clues from the baristas, they found a clue hidden under a breadloaf in Ralph's, they received one clue at a local sword shop and even went to the library to access a secret email account that gave them the final clue ... Pastor Julia's location. We sped to her home and found Pastor Carl knocked out on the porch with a hammer by his head and "blood" across his face after his attempts to rescue his wife. He led us inside the house where we found Pastor Julia tied up and thrown into the closet. Like I said, it was AMAZING! Below is the group that came ....
Check out this amazing picture we tried to take of us jumping ... we look like we are pooping! The second was better :)

In the last pic, I love the color coordination of our shirts. Color, blue, color, blue, color, blue. This was a great post. Oh, the memories!
