It was crazy how God used our staff for this year's bowl-a-thon.
Our goal before the summer was $30000
We currently have awarded about $80000 in scholarships...
Our staff combine together to raise nearly $38000!
Way to go staff and way to go God!

Just a fun story
This week I had the opportunity to tell a Bible story at Morton camp. It was the story of Jesus feeding the 4000. Just the day before the kids had heard the story of Jesus feeding the 5000.
When we got to the part where the disciples ask "Where are we going to get enough food to feed all of these people?", I turned that question around to the kids and asked them to give me a response. How would they answer the disciples' question?
(I was hoping they would see the obvious connection that Jesus was with the disciples and had just fed 5000 people in the previous story.)
Most of them didn't get the connection... I got answers like "Buy some bread" or "Bake some bread" or "Harvest some wheat"
But one little boy said: "Well, if one of them was God, then he could just make bread for them."
Bingo! Jesus is God... so he made bread (taking 7 loaves and feeding 4000 men, plus women's and children.)
