SLAMMED 2012

Turtle Back Here We Come!

Yesterday was a blast, and last night was crazy fun!!! 14 of us made a late night run to Sliding Rock with flash lights in hand. The water was like ice but within minutes laughter and joy had the group running back for more! The excitement lasted about an hour as people rode down in twos, threes and then the whole group together! Everyone played like they were limitless kids again! Now after pancakes and devos out of John 15:18-27 we are on our way to Turtle Back and Rainbow Falls for some waterfall riding, cliff jumping and hiking!

Rafting The French Broad

After a good rain storm yesterday and last night at camp we have dried up just in time to go rafting down the French Broad River today! Despite weather conditions everyone is upbeat and enjoying themselves!
Today's devotions were out of Roman's 8:1-17, and again we had a wonderful sharing time together.
Here are just a few pictures from yesterday, enjoy!

Rock Climbing Day (SLAMMED)

Things are going great today! The day started out with French Toast and devotions. Devos were out of Daniel chapter 3. We spent about 15 minutes in prayers and quiet time before meeting together as a group to share with one another what we learned out of Daniel 3. Group devotions are always a favorite part of my day when it comes to GTD trips! It's absolutely incredible how all 25 of us can read the same verses and have God show us all something different. Currently the group is doing some rock climbing on site and exploring the area. We've got two small sliding rocks at the campsite that make for a God Awesome adventure! It's Wet n' Wild God style!!! Little Chris, who is 8 years old told me last night that he didn't sleep at all the night before coming, he said it felt like Christmas he was so excited for this trip!!! Merry Christmas Christopher!!!

17th ANNUAL SLAMMED ADVENTURE TRIP HAS BEGUN!!

The SLAMMED group arrived safe & sound at 8pm last night. The camp is almost done being set-up. Our first adventure is rock climbing (in a few hours). It looks like a great group of people =)

CHICK-FIL-"YAY"!!


YESTERDAY: 

HUNDREDS & HUNDREDS OF CUSTOMERS!! Wow, I was blown away by the amount of people eating at Chick-fil-A for lunch yesterday. The lines wrapped around the entire restaurant, the drive thru was like rush hour traffic, and the parking spilled over to several other business' parking lots. I was happy to have GTD's Grand Canyon meeting there with 2 great pastors (Aaron Walp & Ron Cooney)!! And I'm happy to show my support & appreciation for this great God-honoring business!!
