So, you may have heard about our team’s little “detour” through Morocco on our way home from camp last month.  It was one of those unplanned experiences that we certainly were not counting on. The night before our 2:00 a.m. departure for home was a fun one with ping pong tournaments, and last minute conversations, […]

Week 2 is in full swing here at camp with about 200 students enrolled and many, many teen and adult helpers coming alongside of our team.  Here’s a few pics to highlight the week! Francis…illustrating the armor of God. Christian…mentored and discipled by Tim to teach our opening assembly. Mary Beth and Brother Philip….a dynamic […]

Between our two very busy weeks of camp, we always take time to explore the beauty of Ghana. Here are a few glimpses into our weekend. All aboard our comfy bus on our way to an adventure! This brave little girl and her daddy navigating the swinging bridge over the rain forest There’s something so […]

On the last night of camp we have our big bonfire. The big fire in the middle was for dancing and the little fires around the edges of the field were for our groups to try their hands at making s’mores. We started the bonfire tradition last year, and popularity vote says it’s here to […]

When I think about God doing the impossible, I think of those big kind of moments in the Bible – like Jesus healing someone in an instant, or turning water into wine.  When I think about miracles today, I realize that these quick, instantaneous ones still happen, but there’s another kind too.  The slow, gradual, […]

10. Ten. TEN! That’s the number of days until we fly to Ghana. I’d like to invite all of you to be a part of our team.  Though 14 people may be traveling to Ghana for the camp, the team is so much bigger than that! Financial supporters. Friends in Ghana. Encouragers. Fundraisers. Missionary partners. […]

Today is June 28. We fly on July 28. How can this be? Meetings, emails, texts, purchases, fundraising, planning, planning, planning, praying, praying, praying… And then…the day comes when it’s only one month till take off! It’s a surreal feeling.  I remember it from every other year.  It’s the time when the planning and work […]

Looking. Seeing. Recently the difference between these two ideas that seem so similar, hit me hard. Last weekend as I prepared for the Hope Overflows event where our church would participate in writing letters to children in Ghana who need sponsors, I had a very meaningful conversation. You see, usually when I display pictures of […]

If you ask me what my favorite thing about Ghana is, I can tell you in a heartbeat. It’s the people. (Bright and Erika demonstrate the game for their team.) In Ghana, everyone says “good morning”. Everyone shares a greeting. Everyone gives a genuine smile. (Coach Greg encourages his players.) I find this to be […]

For the past three years, Arm of Hope has prayed and God has supplied a specially, handcrafted team to pack up camp and take it to some pretty special kids in Ghana. Ever wonder what it takes to be a part of a team like that? It takes a little bit of crazy.  Take Greg […]
