Our Drive!

This is how far we have to go!

Leaving OH

We have just finished up our last concert and have just boarded the bus to come home. Everyone seems to be in a great mood! Sad that we have to leave these kids that we have attached too over the last week. Pray for safe journey and that we would all stay in high spirits for the next 24 hrs that we have cramped in a bus.

Friday (The Busy Day)

Friday

So today was the last day of sports camps. It went amazing! The kids were the best today

behavior wise and we had a blast. After finishing up with the sports camp we headed to an

inner-city mission to sing to the kids there. Little did we realize that this was going to be the

hardest concert of the trip. When we got there there where about 150 kids all running around

the gym at the facility and they did not seem to have any interest. When we finally got set up

and started the kids continually were being loud and very disruptive to the performance.

About the time we started Shackles though they got quiet and payed attention to the rest of the

performance. I really believe that we made a really positive impact on those kids. When we got

back to the church we had to set up for the "block party." We had invited all the kids from

the sports camps to come out and enjoy some food and awards that we had planned for the kids.

It went great! We had a final basketball game with the kids that the parents got to watch and cheer

them on with us. It was so hard to say goodbye to those kids with the realization that we will

probably never see them again. All in all I would definitely say that God has really moved in our

lives this week and we really hope that we have made an impact on these kids as well. Please

continue to pray as we have our final two concerts Sunday morning and afternoon here at FBC and

a men's shelter in downtown Cleveland.

So today we had another great day of camps. As you can see from the pictures we definitely have some serious athletes that we get to work with. We have all gotten so attached to these kids and are so sad that we only have one day left with them. It has been amazing to see how our group has stepped up and been such a witness to these kids, between the loving and the testimonies these kids are getting to see God's love through our group.

The Sports Camps

Sports Camps!

Yesterday we started the sports camps with about 20 or so kids. It was a great first day and we all had a lot of fun. Of course there where a few kids who had to have special attention but it has gone great so far.

Super adorable!
