Kids To KAA Camp / Thursday Nights

We are excited to be sending three of our Vision Onward kids to Kids Across America Camp this upcoming week. We originally had five kids scheduled to go, but one of the moms took off with her children this summer and we weren't able to convince her to let them come back to go to camp. This was disappointing because these particular two boys would really benefit from being there. They have come a long way since we have met them, but they still have a REALLY tough home life and it would have been neat for them to have gone. The three that are going are counting down the days until they go. They are so excited!

We have switched our weekly meeting with the kids from Wednesday to Thursday for the summer. We have been meeting at Douglas Park- - -we let them play, feed them and end with a devotional time. It is good to be in that neighborhood because it is a tough area. We know that many of the houses surrounding that park are involved in illegal activities so we really think our presence there during the summer is important.

Updates regarding Walk This Way 2008 are soon to come!!!
