Inspired

I trying to finish up some prep work on a meeting I have scheduled for tomorrow. I’m still the Direct of Arlington Work Camp and we are gearing up for another great year!

We are meeting for the second annual Plan and Pray Event for Work Camp 2012. The hope for tomorrow is for us to DREAM BIG for next summer’s camp week.

I was looking for some inspiration for the meeting and came across this great video entitled, “People Are Awesome.”

Absolutely love it!!!

(If you can’t view the video, click HERE)

I love videos like this because they get my heart pumping and open my eyes to all sorts of possibilities. Sure we won’t even try to remotely pull off any of those stunts (Unfortunately, Youth Ministry Interns won’t agree to sign liability waivers. Bummer.) but just watching these stunts gets me super excited and focused on bringing my A game to the creative meeting.

When it comes to a creative meeting, you’ve got to get fired up! The thing I love about the Plan and Pray Event is that this will mark the official beginning to our camp. The ideas and plans that we initiate tomorrow will start taking shape and culminate in a great experience for students and adults next summer.

Keep us in your prayers tomorrow as we start planning and preparing for Work Camp 2012.

I can’t wait!

Work Camp 2007

We had a great week. The kids in Group 5 worked with out one complaint. We didn’t get a lot of pictures during Work Camp because we were, well… working but here are a few:

Work Camp 07

We had our work cut out for us as you can see. believe it or not, this was the good side of the house! There were rotted boards everywhere and the old paint was barely hanging on.

On The Run

Arlington Work Camp has happened every summer for 13 years. This was the first year that it was hit with rain. We really were only able to work on our house for half of the three days that we were scheduled to because thunderstorms forced us off the work sites. My wife took this shot as we were driving away from the storms.

All Done
