Highpoint Fellowship

The team from Highpoint Fellowship has arrived here in Tulsa! The team is staying here at Zion Community church and serving this week at Wesley Chapel! 

This morning we got to attend both services at Wesley Chapel! Here was the second service at 12:30 with Pastor Beach! We also got to learn about how the camp will work this week. We also were reminded that the kids we are working with really need all the love we can give them while we are working with them. We are very excited to be apart of the second week of kids camp!

This morning on day one of the second week of camp Aiden and Micha served breakfast to the kids before they started their rotations here at Wesley Chapel. What an amazing start to the day it was with this team and all the amazing kids we get to teach and love this week!!!

This evening Pastor Larry from Tulsa Indian United Methodist Church came and spoke to the group and shared his amazing testimony with us. Pastor Larry shared with us how one day God just woke him up and he realized that he needed to follow the direction God had laid out for him and that his life needed a spiritual change. Makayla prayed for Pastor Larry, his church, and the missionaries currently working at his church this week! What an amazing experience with one of our partner pastors! At the end he invited the whole group of us to come to drum practice tomorrow to Experience a different culture than our own. 

YouthWorks Dream camp day  6! During the field trip to the splash pad today we had a surprise visit from firefighters who made the kids day! Some of the team was insistent on not getting wet but when the firefighters showed up and gave us this amazing moment they had to do it.  It was a great experience!!!

In STEM today the kids got to do a Coke and Mentos experiment and then play with bubbles which looked pretty fun!  

The kids played a game they called horse and essentially the kids were climbing on the backs of the team and riding them across the lawn and had a race going. It was hilarious to watch and amazing to see the team fill the time they had before lunch 

This Morning during devotional time the kids were cursed with a spell of the weepy Wednesday's and all they wanted to do was run around during the story about Joseph. The team did a great job of calming them down and getting them to a place where they would listen! Then Cody decided it was a great time for the church clap which rilled them up again.

Every single kid we got to work with this week has a completely different story and understanding of life. Getting to work with and become friends with these kids has been the most amazing experience in the world and getting to love them and show them God for a week is the most spirit filling connection you can make with a young child. These memories of this camp are not only moments we'll remember forever but also these kids will remember and cherish the love and godliness brought before them this week.

We are headed back to Texas today and had an amazing week and are so excited to tell you all about it and how God worked through us and in us this week! This isn’t good bye, this is a see you later and we hope to see you here again next summer. From all of us at PPM Tulsa we pray for your safe travels and that you share your experience with people at home!
