Tuesday, August 07, 2007VBS (Game Day Cetral)
This year our VBS was during the week of July 23 - 27. This year's theme was my favorite theme we have ever had. It was a sports theme and anyone who knows me knows how much I love sports. I even did some of the decorations. One of the classrooms basically looked like my bedroom when I was a kid. I was able to put up my Chivas (Chivas USA), Kings, Dodgers, and other sports stuff. But that is not important. The important part is the work the Lord did. Our theme verses were Hebrews 12:1-2. We really focused on keeping our eyes on Christ and putting Him first in our lives. What was real awesome we had 9 kids accept Christ as their Lord and Savior. We saw a lot kids grow in their relationship with God. Through the week we had lots of great prizes that were donated to us by lots of the local pro sports teams, which included tickets to games, which I wish I was able to have especially the Chivas USA VIP tickets. On the last night we had a lot of fun with dinner donated by Chick-Fil-A. And of course the highlight of the night was the dunk tank. All in all it was great week, I just want to thank all of the servants who came every morning ready to serve the Lord, without you guys VBS could not had happened.

God did a awesome work at Children's Camp
First off I'm sorry it's been a while since I've written a blog so I'm going to write two in one day...
Well back in June (June 25-29) we had our Children's Camp, which went awesome. The Lord did a great work in kids who went. All of us had a great time! There was rock climbing, archery, euro-bungee, zip-line, ping-pong, air hockey, crafts, were some of the activities we had. Also each morning we would get up and have morning devotions. The throughout the day we would have 2 bible studies taught by Ivan and myself. In evening we would all gather for chapel, where we had a time of worship with Mr. Daniel and we would various guest speakers such as James and the Professor. The theme of this year's camp was; "God's Love", we went through the book of 1 John, and we all grew in the love of God. The last evening was awesome. The last night Russ Hodder (The Black Light Man) was the guest speaker. He gave a great message followed by an altar call in which many kids came forward to either accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior or to rededicate their lives back to the Lord, we had 7 kids from Calvary Chapel Upland go forward. Afterwards we had a afterglow (a time to just worship the Lord) and it was real cool to see some of our kids raising their hands to the Lord in worship. It was such a blessing to see the kids from our church grow in God's Love, I can't wait until next year's camp.
