The shameless advertising continues....

As some of you know, we here at GCC will be doing a 3-Day Sport Camp instead of a traditional VBS. We are excited as we get the humbling opportunity to work with the kids in our community to inspire them in their walk through life and touch them with the love of Christ. We also have a unique opportunity to inspire them to help other kids by participating in Nothing But Nets, a campaign to help prevent malaria across Africa.

Millions of people die each year from malaria - but there's a simple, life-saving solution, and all it takes is $10 to buy a bed net, distribute it to a family, and explain its use.

You can help support our kids at SC3@GCC Camp as we raise funds by making a secure online donation. Click on the link below to donate or even Join our TEAM by Sending Nets and Saving Lives:

Thanks for partnering with us!

See you at the net!

SC3 @ GCC....yes, shameless advertising!

I am pumped! I know, it is only May and I am already pumped for summer. Okay, you maybe thinking because of the great sun, biking by the lake, cook outs….yet I am pumped because for 3 days, we at GCC are going to do something unique to reach the kids for Christ in our church and in our community. Instead of doing a traditional VBS, we have decided to have a 3-day Sport Camp.

Why you ask? Why when everyone else is doing the VBS programs that are filling the Christian Book Stores? Why when, from the past, we “know” that tradition works?

If there is one thing I have learned from being a missionary it this simple thought, “just because it has worked before doesn’t mean it is the ultimate “cookie cutter” for all people.”

Let me quote a stat from Outreach Magazine:
90% of Americans either watch, read or participate in some sports-related activity once a month. More than 70% are involved in sports once a week.

Does that answer any of the “why’s”? What a unique opportunity and venue to reach kids. 3, 2 hour days packed with God truths and principles for life wrapped around soccer skills, puppets, challenges, prizes….Yeah…I’m pumped!

So, here’s a quick shout out to anyone from GCC: Come and be part of our GCC TEAM to share the “gaming principles of Christ” with some incredible kids in our community.

One more shout out to all my Grace PEEPS! If you know of anyone that plays on the Grace College Soccer Team that would love to give 3, 2 hour days in June to show some kids their soccer skills and love for Christ….drop me an email! angelt@oasisautism.org

Our kids will not leave the field the same and I guarantee, neither will you!
