Gauntlet 2009

I've been following some of the twitter and facebook posts from staff at the Gauntlet. They have been having a pretty amazing time. NewSpring sent 18 bus loads of kids, volunteers and staff from the 3 campuses. There have been around 3000 total students in Daytona for the BigStuff camp.

Perry has been able to speak several times to the students. He actually closes out tonight starting at 8:30. He twittered earlier today... Just had a kid tell me, "i loved what you had to say this morning...I sort of fell asleep @ the end...but what I heard was good!" :-)

I'm sure the kids are
going full steam all day long and staying up too late so the falling asleep is sort of expected. But the greatest thing about this week was the sunrise baptism on the beach where 115 kids took the plunge, literally, because they have made a commitment to follow Christ. That is just awesome. Thank you Jesus for drawing these kids into a personal relationship with You.
