Staff Dedication at Midwest Bible Church

By


Yesterday morning, the staff rose bright and early for our trip to Midwest Bible Church in Chicago, IL. The ride there was about an hour and a half; despite the 7:30 AM wake up call, no one fell asleep, thanks to our Executive Director, Roy Tanner, who eagerly taught the staff the Phantom Ranch theme song on the way. I can speak for all of us when I say we had a lot of fun attempting to sing along. We're trying, Roy! Hopefully we'll get a chance to show off our newly learned tune soon.


The church service was wonderful, as I had expected. Pastor Marco spoke on God using Christians (what a fitting topic). All the members of Midwest Bible Church are so welcoming and hospitable. We are eternally grateful that that they opened their hearts, and church doors for us so willingly. Here is a photo I snapped of the staff ascending the stage for the Staff Dedication. It was truly a heart warming experience to have the entire church body pray for us and our ministry this Summer. 


After the service, the PRBC staff had a few moments to get to know some of the church-goers at Midwest. 



Then, the staff was served a tasty meal by some very loving ladies at the church. The pasta was a big hit! We are so thankful for all the hard work put in to the preparation of our lunch. God bless the hands that made it! The experience was fantastic and inspiring. Hopefully I'll be able to return to Midwest Bible Church some day soon!  



Thanks again to Midwest Bible Church for our Staff Dedication, excellent food, good company, and many prayers.

Elmbrook Church Middle School "Mosaic" Camp

Elmbrook's middle school group arrived at Phantom Ranch on Sunday evening, praise God! After a good night of sleep, the campers all hurried down to the lake on Monday to take their swim tests so that they can enjoy the rest of the week on the waterfront. Monday was filled with many fun games, and two sessions of chapel. Wednesday, Elmbrook's campers took off for a mini missions trip. We are so excited to have "Mosaic" with us, and are hoping that God continues to move in the lives of these campers in profound ways.

Beating the Heat!

It's been another HOT day today. This morning we had our traditional greasy watermelon competition! I talked to several girls from the cabin, Texan before the competition and asked how their week was going so far. Several of the girls said they really loved tubing and are excited for banana boating. The whole cabin was super excited for the game called Conquest!

Youngteen/Triple W Youngteen 2016

Summer is off to a great start with Youngteen and Triple W! Campers are having an amazing week learning and growing in Christ as well as playing games competing to earn the most team points. Teams are made up of two cabins each, one guy cabin and one girl cabin. They create a name and a team cheer. Campers have played a lot of exciting games this summer including Surge and Night Raiders. It has been a blessing to see the support and encouragement campers give each other, even when they're on opposing teams! Triple W-Youngteen has daily morning riding lessons learning how to communicate effectively to the horse they are riding. Their afternoon "skill builder" time they use for working with their Triple W team in creating a drill team routine to show off to their family at the end of the week. There is a lot of awesome team work happening all over camp! Campers attend chapel every morning and night, and have been learning a lot from returning speaker Josh Koskinen.
