    • 2021 ROCKY RAILWAY:  Jesus' Power Pulls us Through
      The message communicated to our kids through Rocky Railway proved to be more relevant than ever... "through lifes ups and downs, Jesus' Power Pulls Us Through."

       


      2019 ROAR:  Life is wild; God is good
      This epic African adventure engaged the whole herd! The kids explored God’s goodness and celebrated a ferocious faith that they learned will power them through this wild life.

       


      2018 Shipwrecked:  Rescued by Jesus
      This was the year that we ventured onto an uncharted island where kids are rescued by Jesus! Our funsters were anchored in the truth that Jesus carries them through every storm in life. They learned to hold onto God's promises when they are lonely, when they worry, when they struggle, when they do wrong, and when they feel powerless.
       


      2017 Passport Peru: Discovering God's Good Gifts

      In 2017, our funsters were immerces in this vibrant culture where they discovered God’s good gifts for all of us! We hiked the cloud-shrouded ruins of Machu Picchu, savored the exotic flavors of the Amazon, and heard what daily life is like from kids in Peru.
       



      2016 Cave Quest: Following Jesus, the Light of the World

      Kids learned that Jesus is the one who lights our way and gives us hope for each new day. The funsters went spelunking through dark caves with Jesus as His love illuminates when the path is dark. Our funsters were encouraged to follow Jesus where ever he will lead them!

       

                                   2014 Rome: Peter's Call to Lead God's Church



      2015 Hometown Nazareth: Where Jesus was a Kid

      This summer, we heard stories about Jesus’ childhood from the best source of all… his mom, Mary! Can you imagine the kinds of stories Mary can tell us? This summer, we took our funsters back to Hometown Nazareth, where they stood up for their faith among people who doubted that the carpenter’s son is really God’s son.



      2013 Athens:  Pauls Dangerous Journey to Share the Truth

      Our funsters learned the jaw-dropping story of Paul, who left a life of privilege and power to face angry mobs, painful imprisonment and chain-breaking earthquakes... all to spread the life-changing truth of God's love. Paul inspired us to share the truth of God's immeasureable love!
       



      2012 Bablyon:  Daniels Courage in Captivity

      This summer, our funsters learned that Daniel was WAY more than the guy who survived a den of hungry lions! They joined Daniel, who was torn from his home and forced into the Kings service. They explored exotic sights and smells in a Babylonian Bazaar. They found out that they are not much difference from Daniel and his friends, who kep their faith in a faithless culture.



      2011 Egypt:  Joseph's Journey from Prison to Palace

      Our funsters were transported to ancient Egypt where they met Bible heroes, visited the Egyptian marketplace, learned hieroglyphics and more! On this five-day journey, they learned God gives us hope, special abilities, wisdom, forgiveness, and a family.
