First Canton Children

What a great day at What’s Up Park! 🏎️🚗🔫🧗🍕

We raced go-karts, played laser tag, rode bumper cars, climbed the rock wall, and made lots of great memories together. During lunch, we took time to open God’s Word and talk about Ephesians 4:32—how God calls us to be kind, use encouraging words, and make those around us have better days!

I love days like this that are filled with fun, laughter, and opportunities to point kids to Jesus. So thankful for this amazing group!

The faces behind the ministry. ❤️

When people look back on this week, they’ll remember the worship, the games, the campfire, the friendships, and most importantly - the lives that were changed by Jesus.

What they may not see are the countless moments that happened behind the scenes.

The sponsors who stayed up late comforting homesick campers and woke up before the sun. The ones who fixed hair, made beds, carried luggage, handed out Band-Aids and medicine, prayed with hurting hearts, encouraged timid students, led Bible studies, worshiped wholeheartedly, and simply showed up over and over again.

They sacrificed sleep, traded the comfort of home for camp bunks, ate whatever was on the menu, and poured themselves into these kids with joy.

Camp does not happen without faithful volunteers willing to say, “Here am I, Lord. Send me.”

To our incredible sponsors—thank you for giving your time, your energy, your vacation days, your patience, and your hearts. You didn’t just “sponsor a camp”. You helped disciple a generation.

We are so thankful for each of you! We love you, we appreciate you, and we thank God for your willingness to invest in the lives of these children.

The Kingdom was impacted this week because you said yes!
