2008 SPRING OUTPOST

There were 76 boys and 44 men at the outpost.  Saturday started with a service project, to clean up trash and flood debris from several parts of the park, including the dam and launch areas.  The units had lunch at their campsites.  There were four hours of events in the afternoon, with four groups of boys rotating through basketball/volleyball, kickball, ultimate frisbee, and a 2 mile nature hike, with the assistance of a naturalist from the Park.  The weather started off beautiful.  It was cloudy and windy in the afternoon, then the sun came back out and it cooled into a beautiful evening

Saturday evening and Sunday morning, the group received a message from Gary Nussbaum, of Transport for Christ, a ministry for truck drivers.  He is the Director of Community and Church Relations. He has been with this ministry for 19 years. Gary pastored for 9 years, and drove truck for 8 years. Has 3 boys, all married now. When he was young he felt God's call to be a missionary, and also wanted to be a truck driver. Today he gets to do both. He ministers with his wife of 36 years, Pearl.
 

The 2008 Honor Unit Award went to Unit 20, Trinity - Northwood.  Good job!

Here are some photos collected during the outpost.  More will be added later this week.  If you have any photos you would like posted on this page, e-mail them to your webmaster.
