After driving for nearly 13 hours, the team arrived around 9 p.m. Sunday evening! We're all super excited and ready to get to work this morning at the Youth Works Dream Camp!

Today was our first work day and we went to the Youth Works Dream Camp. Following that, we went to Standpipe Hill which is a historical marker in Tulsa. While there we chose to pray over the city and thank God for the progress that Tulsa has made!

Tuesday morning at the ranch, the team decided to do a unique activity with the kids. We took a large poster board and wrote the phrase "Before I die I want to..." Following this we asked the kids to share what they would like to accomplish in their lives and what their dreams were! This led to some amazing conversations with the kids and opened up pathways to make connections with them!

To end our Tuesday, we took the team out for ice cream at a local favorite, Braums! This was a great way for the team to be able to bond further as well as treat themselves to something nice after a long workday!

Wednesday was the last full work day we had with the kids so we knew we had to make it good! We began the morning with some worship that had motions, which the kids enjoyed. Post worship, we went to our normal rotations with the kids and continued to share our love and faith with them!

Thursday morning was our last morning working with the kids at the ranch. Because of the heat, we decided to bring out the water balloons and have some fun! The kids loved getting to throw them at the leaders and the leaders enjoyed getting wet and cooling off!

To end our last evening together, we took the opportunity to have a time of communion and prayer together. We also chose to pray over the leaders as they are traveling home. This week was amazing and we're all so thankful for the week we had with the kids and together as a team!
