March 18th Parents' Night Out

On Friday March 18th we held a Parents' Night Out event at our Pekin camp.  Leading up to the night we had only around 20 or so campers and I had asked my prayer team to pray for additional campers to attend camp.  God answered prayer and we ended up with over 30 kids that registered to come.  Less than 2 hours before the event (and right after I printed off the Sign In sheet) two parents called in and signed up four more children.

Like other Parents' Night Outs this event was planned and pulled off almost entirely by four interns: Lukas, Nathan, Shelby, and Heather.   I always look for feedback after these nights.  And here's what I I received this time.

Question 1) What was the best part about Friday night?   "Most of the kids were avid listeners and really engaged in Lukas' lesson." - Heather  "I think the best part was that there were so many kids there I had never seen before. That showed me that God is still using camp and is continuing to let it grow so that more families can be reached with the Gospel." - Nathan

Question 2) What ONE THING would you want to improve and why?  "I feel like there could be more follow-up on the lesson... I feel like we could do more to really bring the story home." - Nathan

Question 3) Looking ahead to the last PNO, what would you say is the most important thing we can include in that night?  "The wordless book or anything relating to accepting Christ and having a personal relationship with Him. Maybe we could each touch on our spiritual journey." - Heather
