Happy 4th!

by Morgan Shepherd | July 5, 2022 11:51 AM

We started off our trip with celebrating the Fourth of July in downtown DC! We went to the National Museum of Natural History, watched a bit of the parade, saw the Minions movie, hung out on the National Mall, and even got to see the fireworks! It was a fun day and we are excited to start serving!

Happy 4th!

Food for Everyone!

by Anna Medrys | July 5, 2022 2:11 PM

Today we served at Hughes United Methodist Church and helped with food distribution! People come in with different colored cards and they get a certain amount of food depending on what color card they have. It was so much fun meeting and serving them!

Sandwiches For Days

Today we made sandwiches and gave them to an organization called Martha’s Kitchen! Martha’s Kitchen is where they serve over 200 hot meals for those who need them! They also hand out sandwiches that people bring in!

Drawing the Gospel

To end the day, we played Pictionary with words relating to the Gospel, and then Wade explained the words and shared the Gospel with the kids! God is moving and working in this place!

We all Scream for Ice Cream

by Anna Medrys | July 7, 2022 9:04 AM

After a long day of working with the kids at Funday and handing out water bottles and care packages in downtown D.C., we went to an ice cream shop and had some tasty ice cream! It was a fun day and we can’t wait to see all of the kids tomorrow at Funday part two!

Today we had a fun day playing water games! We played a game called drip drip drop, which is duck duck goose but with water! The kids also played in the mini pool which was fun!

Boys vs Girls

by Morgan Shepherd | July 7, 2022 9:29 PM

We played another game where each team had to squeeze out a sponge into a bucket to see who filled it more in three minutes. It was a lot of fun and super competitive!

Boys vs Girls

Making Waves

by Morgan Shepherd | July 7, 2022 9:32 PM

To start and end our fun days, we danced to a few songs! We were excited that the songs we knew from vbs back at home were songs that these kids knew too, so we were able to do them together! It was so cool seeing the kids coming out of their shell as the day went on and worshiping through dance!

Adios!

by Anna Medrys | July 7, 2022 9:42 PM

Today was the last day of camp with the kids after such an amazing week! We have seen God move in amazing ways this week through the relationships that have been made and the Bible lessons that have been learned. The kids learned at the end of fun day today that we need to be the light for Jesus every single day! Everyone had so much fun, and hopefully we will all be reunited soon!
Adios!
