Game Day Central was out of hand! It was incredible to enjoy the energy around this place this past week. I watched kids gain a better 'picture' of a heart for the nations.... a better understanding of this epic 'God-saga'..... a depth of friendship with one another. It was beautiful to see this place packed (440+) nightly. It was even more beautiful to know that heaven and earth celebrated as 40+ kids embraced Christ and birthed a relationship with Him. That's good! That's God!!

Ian and Jamie carried on the insanity with their amazing character sketches. Tammy, by an absolute miracle of God, actually brought some semblance of meaning to Jamie and Ian's drama! Hundreds of adults and students poured their lives and their time out for God's glory. It was a good week.

Maybe the best accolade for VBS was my 2 little ones on Friday night. They were anguished that we weren't heading out the door to VBS. They wanted MORE! Let's hope that several hundred kids want more and more of this amazing God that we elevated this past week.

So, we've enjoyed GameDay Central at EBC.... on mission in N.Dakota... on mission in Pine Isle.... next week, we'll send a team to England. This whole VBS thing is like the EverReady Bunny. It just keeps going and going and going......

Hey, let's also hope that they want less and less of their pastor attempting to dance : )!! Enjoy the YouTube video of the closing of VBS. Our staff team has some pretty good moves! You may see us on broadway in days to come.

For the Glory,
Mark
