Several of the girls (this is just three of them) decided to be nice

the rest of the trip!" Go team!

Student Life Camp 2011 Day 1

Devoted. (Deuteronomy 6:5) That is what I hope each of these 19 people
learn to be by the end of this week. Please pray for each of us by
name to experience God in a big way.

Day 6: Starbucks really helps!

The crew tore it up again weeding, painting and cleaning up a garage.
We all joined in the afternoon to work at 'Medwish' packing supplies
for medical missions and clinics. It was a great day. Everyone
celebrated with a big slushy.

Day 6: Blink!

Today was the first day that Team Blink (Blue and Pink) got to work together on a service project. Since we have 2 vans and 3 teams we had to split up, but it's cool because it really helped us grow closer together during the times we were together.

Here are some pics of the painting project we worked on. We had to scrape all the old paint of off the entire front of the garage, which was surprisingly fun. I am so proud of our team. When lunch time came and the other 2 groups had brought the food to us Team Blink wasn't content with taking a break. We finished that garage before we ate and the team worked really hard on it.

Day 6: Random Pic

Heres a pic for Sean, PJ and Clayton's up and coming band "Jello
Pudding Pops." seriously we were just helping clean up the movie night
and I snapped this pic.

Day 5: Men's Shelter and Yard Work

Today started early and ended late. My group did an amazing job
serving guys who really needed a smile and a morning meal. The rest of
the day we spent serving people in the community doing yard work. My
group served a lady named Mrs. Gail who was so excited that she was
going to check put Velocity with her daughter. Everyone beasted it and
transformed people's lawns and shrubs. We rounded out the day with a
movie night we helped put on for local kids.

This is a pic of my group in downtown Cleveland after the men's
shelter. If you're a parent you should be very proud of your son or
daughter. I know I am!!

Day 3: Photo of the Day

The photo says it all. Justin found it while passing out flyers

Day 3: Handing Out Flyers

Today our group began the challenge of handing out up to 15,000 flyers
inviting people to church at Velocity. There was a great attitude
among the group as everyone walked in pairs from house to house
leaving flyers on the door.

Many people quoted the park we had lunch in as a highlight for the
day. As you can see from this pic, three of the girls learned how to
walk on water. We passed out more after lunch but had to call it quits
due to rain, got all cleaned up at the YMCA and headed out to dinner.
We spent a lot of time tonight hanging out and bonding as a group.
