Retreats

Over the last several weeks, we have been able to help out with the teen and elementary retreats.  Each one was a weekend to remember! 

Teens enjoyed gross games, gym games, chapel time, as well as the skyswing and zip line rides over tiki torches in the late evening.  Although the threat of bad weather was all around us, Ponderosa's position in the valley helps everyone stay nice and safe.  The rain came, but the storms spared us from moving into a safe place.  It turned out to be an incredible weekend of worship and reconnection with the One True God! 

Elementary weekend brought many new campers and some wonderful, warm weather to enjoy horseback riding, canoeing, and an interesting kickball game with an obstacle course built in!  Of course, some thought it would be fun to swim in the river.  While it may have been fun, it was definitly COLD!!!  This did not stop the brave souls who wanted to swing from the rope swing and enjoy the warm sunshine.  Chapel time was especially meaningful with a time of commitment and a challenge to share the Gospel with at least one person. 

Each moment we spend there just confirms the calling even more.  This is our mission field.  Those young, precious lives are so impressionable and we are excited about what the future holds!  Thank you Father God for Your calling and Your provisions as we seek to serve You...
