Bible camp....

Organising the teen end of things is crazy..., but so fulfilling. This time i was just overseeing the entire program, making sure no problems came up, and everbody was present. Which meant that indirectly i was responsible for anything that happened to the 98 kids there... But there was a great group of people supporting the program all the way - we even had Amanda back - so it would be really, really bad if it went wrong. Oh, and the games. I'm starting to get very good at managing kids during games ;-)

But boy was it hectic. As usual the (lovely) tired feet feeling is well embued in my feet, after running all around the NPC of the church, but it was running for God!!! And the games... well, Aaron and Jason did the job pretty well, though for some reason i had to take control of the mic, several times (hey, they wanted to play...)

And during the game Stuck In The Mud, we decided at the end to pit the leaders against the kids....all 98 of them!!! It was soooo cool! Only when i was on the ground that i realised that with all the leaders in the arena (including me) there was no one on the mic... So in the end i had to resort to pretty comical sign language. A 'three, two, one' followed by a whistle started the match. Then all the leaders linked hands and charged down at the kids.

The rest was pure screaming fun.
