KIDS CAMP A HUGE SUCCESS

There were over 300 in attendance with Camp COTUBIC packet out.  Many lives were changed as services challenged kids spiritually.  There were many physical activites that challenged the children as well, plus they learned the importance of prayer and service.  They made prayer blankets and delivered them to a local nursing home in Bellefontaine.   The leadership team is exploring options of having even more children attend next year.  Please continue to keep "KIDS CAMP" in your prayers as they minister to the children of Central Ohio.

Special thanks to Kim Bobb, Camp Director and her team for an outstanding job in discipling the children of our churches.
