Legacy!!!!!!!!!

It's about that time! This year, Church of the Savior is running four Legacy camps- which is way more than we've ever done before! For those of you who have no clue what Legacy is, its an organization of sorts that was started by Christian artist Rich Mullins and carried on to this day, years after his tragic death in a car accident. Legacy camp reaches out to broken, at-risk youth who desperately need to be told that they are loved, valuable, and precious both to us, the staff, and to God. These truths are spoken to the kids through week-long day camps during which the kids take different art, dance, and music classes. We've done these camps for almost eight years now, and here's what's super cool about them: as a teacher/small group leader/Legacy intern, I find myself being stretched and grown during the camps as much as, if not more than the kids I work with. God speaks and moves in incredibly beautiful ways through art and creativity- I can attest to the fact that this ministry works, and is explosive and exciting. It's something that I'm so passionate about, and having the opportunity to be an intern in the Legacy ministries staff just means the world to me. I highly encourage anyone to get involved with this at some point- call me at 316-616-8309, or send me an email at missbn@att.net, and ask me for more information- I would be absolutely stoked to tell you whatever you need to know. OK, pay attention- these are the dates for the camps this summer:
Camp #1- homeless shelter in OK city: June 20-24
Camp #2- homeless shelter in KS city: June 27-July1
Camp #3- teen girls camp at Church of the Savior: July11-15
Camp #4- teen guys camp at Church of the Savior: July 18-22
Don't be afraid to contact me about the camps if you're the least bit interested. Regardless, prayer would be so greatly appreciated- our Father works in mighty mind-blowing ways through prayer.
