Philly Youth

Your children are still living. Good morning.. This was yesterday….

So today we had some fun in the sun, along with some awesome food at Cracker Barrel. The message here @ SL camp is totally centered around the gospel. Last night we focused on the bigness of God and the smallness of us, while tonight we were drenched with the gospel and the cross. Louie the speaker focused on the way God chose to come down to earth from glory to rescue and redeem. Anyways more to come!

Leaving for dinner will update later here are some pics

Today was a great day here in South Carolina. The weather was amazing and the waves were huge. Today in at the worship rally we learned a bout a girl names Ashley, and how her circumstance has began to change lives. It was truly amazing. If you are interested to hear what we heard you can check out - Student Life Download Section. The messages may not currently be up but should be shortly. While waiting for the Rallies to start we had fun playing “Big Booty <-ask your kids about this one" and Duck Duck Goose. Lots of fun and good times. It is around 2:00AM and we will be rolling out on the road at 8:00AM. Please pray especially for the van drivers that they would be awake & attentive while driving, it has been a long week! This batch of pictures are a few of the pictures taken over the past 2 days. Enjoy Visit Gallery. Also if your interested in getting any of these pictures full size, let butch know, you can contact me through the “Ask a Question” Tab at the top.

ALSO TONIGHT IS THE LIVE BROADCAST, SO SCROLL DOWN ALL THE WAY FIND THE LINK FOR TONIGHT AND LISTEN IN ON WHAT WE WILL BE HEARING!!!! If the video doesn’t work try back later…

Ok to clear up some confusion about the safe. We stored all the meal money in the room safe, and the room safe battery died… But it is all fixed now. Today was a beautiful morning. Pictures are attached here. Visit Gallery It is now a little after lunch and Rainy. The rain has caused us to be stuck inside. According to Weather.com it is not looking to good for the rest of the week. Hopefully everything will clear up. So for today here are some quotes from the students.

“hello philly phamily!” Marlie Luker

“if you dont get off of me i will push you off the bed before you can say KAL-A-MA-ZOOOOO!”

“if you didnt know, free-range cows live in the rainforest.. and they count cheese.”

“EVERY TIME I THINK OF YOU I ….PUH-LA-LA-LA-LA.”

“Because im ME, and thats who i am.”

Stephanie Betsch’s middle name is GARFUNKLE… if you didnt know.

“McCon and young stephanie, trying to take it ea-say.”

“Oh My Knee”-Mrs. Phylluss, Gracie, Meagan W, and Amanda

“Hey Charlie let’s go to Candy Mountain”

“Momma I love you and Daddy I am doing my work outs” Zac Fowler

“I love all of yall!” Lindsey

Today seemed to go a lot smoother than our first day on the road. There were a few drawbacks with the broken safe (with all the food money in it) along with a very uncooperative hotel staff who seemed not to be too concerned that we could not eat dinner. (your students really did not starve) We actually all attended the Golden Corral and ate loads of ice cream. It was a beautiful day on the beach. The water was cool and clear with a nice breeze to accompany the beautifulness. We received your emails and gift certificates! The Worship Rally was fantastic, Louie Giglio keeps it straight and to the point focussed on the core of the gospel, The Cross! We also had a nice walk tonight on the beach and given a chance to pour out our hearts to God. Look forward to beach pictures tomorrow, Check out the worship pictures from tonight! Visit Gallery
