5th and 6th Grade Summer Blast

This summer we had a chance to hang out with some 5th and 6th graders and share with them about the Gospel and missions. We met at a family's house every Thursday afternoon and hung out at the pool. We played a bunch of crazy games involving sticking half an oreo to your forehead, pool races, "different" foods, some native characters and five gallon water jugs. We would usually play one game that tied into what we were teaching that week, so that the kids could experience what they would learn and not just hear about it. The biggest thing we wanted them to get out of it was knowing for themselves what the Gospel or Good News is of the Bible and being able to articulate it. And then also how there are people that need someone to go to tell them the Gospel because they live in isolated places where they won't hear it unless someone comes and tells them. It was a huge learning experience for us since we have never taught that age group. We had a great time with the kids though and got to work with amazing parents who helped out!

The natives from Papua New Guinea- you have to put a little imagination into it. Andrew can look the part better than me!

Nadine helping out with watching Kaden. We took him with us to each Thursday and we are so thankful for all the parents helping us with watching him!
