By Wednesday, our attendance, according to Pastor Ryan Heller, was the largest Kids Camp they have ever had, with 85 children attending so far this week. All three camps have seen an increase from Monday, and we are making critical connections with their parents as well. Tonight, the kids attending our Broadway Camp will perform for the crowd at our Block Party, and, most importantly, their parents. It's exciting to be using creative approaches like sports and music and drama, to reach new people. As they attend the camps, the block parties, and ultimately, the Edge Church worship services, they are on a path to learn the truth of the Gospel, and become a Christian. I personally met many families last night that Ryan shared with me were on this path.

Our first block party was a success, but not in the way we expected. We had a long rain delay, during which we were trying to protect our sound equipment. Then, the clouds broke, and we had some sun - so we set up again, only to have to stop after four songs. However, we were holding the party at our Sports Camp site, so when we had to shut down the concert, we were still able to have the kids and families play games, so we were able to hold the crowd and give the Edge Church to make those critical connections with people. We purchased door prizes that Pastor Ryan gave away throughout the evening, selected from the registration cards people filled out as they entered the park.

Please pray for our final camp day as the Gospel is shared at Western Camp and Sports Camp. Also pray for the parents of the Broadway Camp to have a great experience tonight seeing what their kids have learned, and as they meet Pastor Ryan and the people from The Edge Church. Also pray for good weather tonight! We are anxious to make our final concert here a complete one!
