Summer Review: Kids Camp

Mike MeyersChildren's Ministry, Event UpdatesAugust 21, 2012 Leave a comment0

Five days, over 500 children, 200+ volunteers, 2500 snacks served, tons of fun,  more than 4,000 combined volunteer hours and, best of all, God showed up!  Can it get any better than that?  If you have never participated in an RBC Kids Camp (formerly VBS) then you are missing a unique experience in the life of this church.  Kids Camp has always been a time for the children of the church to grow in their faith, but with 180+ visitors at this summer’s event, this has become one of RBC’s largest evangelistic outreaches as well.  This year the children at Kids Camp were learning to “fly” at the Amazing Wonders Aviation flight school.  They learned that in order to “soar on wings like eagles” they must be fueled by the power of God and that His power extends over nature, our circumstances, our sin, and our lives.  Our desire is to see them make a smooth take-off and a God glorifying flight.

We were blessed to see so many sweet stories unfold throughout the week.  Let me share just two of them with you.  First time Kids Camp volunteer Curt McGowan decided to take off a week of mornings from his full-time job to be a small group leader.  In no time he and his group of cadets were a tight squadron.  Seeing them all march in with the very cool aviator shades that Curt had picked up for them was priceless.  His enthusiasm grew throughout the week and by the end he was talking about plans to tell other men of the church how they can join him next year and share in the blessings.

This year we were privileged to host a large number of children from Guilford elementary school at Kids Camp.  Thanks to the hard work of Barb Ruffner and her team, these special visitors were treated to a delicious lunch each day following camp.  By day two this had turned into a banquet for the students, their parents, siblings and grandparents in some cases!  Each family received a Bible as well as a personal invitation from Children & Family ministry Director Jason Goetz to return and visit Quest at our weekend services.  Imagine our excitement when several of these families showed up Sunday morning.

Jesus said, “whoever welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me.” At Kids Camp 2012 the body of Christ at Reston Bible Church welcomed the presence of Jesus in a big way!
