CIU Mission Team/Horizon Kids Camp

We have had a super busy month thus far and were so blessed to host the Columbia International University Mission Team again this year!  They were with us for 10 days and were instrumental in the success of our 1st Annual Horizon Kids Camp under the leadership of our wonderful Children's Ministry Coordinator, Dale Scaglione!  They also helped with many other ministries during their time here.  They did an amazing job and many kids and families heard the Gospel for the first time!  We did this camp in English to reach out to those kids who are learning English at 2 of the local bilingual schools and it was a HUGE success!  We got such wonderful feedback from the parents and it was a way to really connect with them as well!  We shared Bible stories, crafts, games, music, snack, etc....we ended the week by inviting the families to see the kids perform their skits and songs that they had learned all week, and we had a cookout celebration as well!!  All in all, the week was a huge success and a real blessing to this community!!  The team also participated in our normal weekly Kids Clubs, construction projects, school supply outreach, women's and men's Bible Studies, etc.  They were AMAZING and we were so blessed to have them serving alongside us!  They really blessed our family as well!!!  Thanks, CIU, for your love and selfless service to our community!!!!  We love you!!!
