Camp Barnabas Bound

Our High School students are leaving on Monday for Camp Barnabas. We are way excited about what God is going to do, and can't wait to get there. If you haven't heard about Barnabas it's a Christian camp for disabled kids. Our students will be serving kids one on one, basically being a parent for 9 days. It is going to be amazing! We are also taking leaders whose primary role will be to cheer on and encourage our students in the hard task they are being given. Each of our leaders has taken about 10 students, have already written them notes of encouragement that they'll get on the first day, and will continue to do love on our students throughout the week.

A couple fun things we're doing on the way up there, is eating at Lambert's Cafe (if you haven't eaten there you haven't lived), and going to Doenning Barn Swings (Barnswinging is a favorite of folks in the Ozarks). I found a video of people Barnswinging here, although they haven't mastered it. Both are things that are pretty much the opposite of Dallas culture, and our students should have a good appreciation for hillbillies when they come back.
