Carole's Favorite Week of Summer - Week in the City


At "Week in the City," (WIC) we bring our summer staff to receive training and lead an inner city outreach sports/crafts/Bible camp for the week.  I love it because I get to feel the heartbeat of the city, I am privileged to meet and know inner city kids and share Christ's love with them, I have the joy of serving alongside my husband and children as they actively participate in ministry and outreach, and I get to know our summer staff who I love so dearly!  Awesome - thank you Lord!!

They say a picture is worth a thousand words.  Our media intern made this awesome WIC 2012 video......

We set up our sports camps as an outreach in 2 low income communities where some of our World Impact missionaries live.  At the camps, kids may participate in soccer, basketball, hockey, dance, arts and crafts, and drama.  They have a Bible time, complete with songs, skits, and story time, followed by small group discussion about the Bible, and of course, the ever important snack time!  It's a time where kids receive a lot of attention and love, have a ton of fun, and most importantly hear about Christ.
