Sports Camp Is Over






Today we finished an awesome week of Sports Camp. We had 48 campers this week and 4 kids accepted Jesus Christ as their Savior! Today was highlighted by our end of the week scrimmage games. The red team in flag football ran back a kickoff that was reminiscent of the "Music City Miracle" made famous during the Tennessee Titans playoff game a few years ago. Today I filled in for Greg Thompson coaching softball and I played the role of the unpopular umpire having to call a few close ones at first base. Nobody can rival the 4th and 5th grade girls when it comes to competitive fire.

One of yesterday's highlights was having Dorrell Jalloh and Erza Tilaye, wide receivers for the Mountaineers, and Josh from FCA come and speak to the kids, sign some autographs, and spend time playing with the kids. They totally rocked and the kids had a great time hanging out with them.

South Union Baptist Church turned out to be one of the best groups we've ever had in Morgantown. They were ready and willing to serve, and they bonded with the kids this week. Several received "Thank You" cards from parents of the kids they were coaching. The same can be said for the fellows from Green Valley and The Heights -- we couldn't had an excellent camp without these groups.

Time will tell what fruit God sends our way from this camp, but I know that good seeds of the gospel have been sown all week!
