character quest

I just love our church!
This week Nick and I are on the Ropes Team for Character Quest. Character Quest is like vacation bible school on steroids for 4th-6th graders. There are over 225 campers there. The 4th and 5th grade are just day campers at the church but the 6th grade gets to go to New Frontiers and spend the night. They do some amazing things, low ropes, high ropes, 60 foot climbing tower, zip line, human swing- and that's just the ropes course of the week. Today was our first day and it was a blast. I worked the high ropes course this morning and Nick was at the climbing tower and zip line. After lunch, I moved to the human swing and Nick stayed at the tower/zip line. I got some shots of the kids in action so you can see them conquering their fears.

It's incredible to see this week pulled off, the countless hours that have gone into it and the hundred of volunteers who are making it possible. It's simply amazing to watch it all unfold and we are so blessed to be a part of it! It's a life changing week for these kiddos as they are stretch to give the Quest their all.
