Kamp Life

It's fairly well known among the Kwest circle that I often refer humorously to most music we play in our chuck wagon as "angry rap." Secretly I would say that I do like most rap music (just ask Befort...he and I have often been guilty of freestyle rap after everyone leaves the kitchen...much to the disbelief the kitchies).

The hottest thing to hit the press today is a funny free style rap that may just rocket to the top of the charts this week. Check it out...and get ready to laugh because there are some fun surprises, including a little appearance by Joe White himself.

Over the years, I have enjoyed how music has played such an important part of what we do in the summer. It helps tell the story of what "kamp life" is really all about (thanks Smitty, LaCrae, Billy, Rick, Kim, and the hosts of others that have blessed us with cutting edge worship and fun).

Let me know what you think of this new video. Hats of to Tim, Jay, and the video crews that make it all happen.

Have a fun weekend and dream about kamp life!

One of the best things about Kwest is our staff. I still believe today, that apart from the Lord, our number one asset is our People. Our staff, fueled by their walk with the Lord, is the reason this place is so special. From the looks of the photo above, you know why we have so much fun!

In our first kamper surveys of the summer, 92% of our boys said that they had an "excellent" time. Did you hear that? 92%. Wow, it's hard to get any group of folks to say something like that and all be on the same page. What's even more impressive, all of our guys who stayed for one week told us that every one of their counselor staff was 100% excellent when it comes to guiding, leading, and directing them. What a special staff with incredible talents. What a gracious God!

Tonight is cross talk night. We will be rallying tonight to help lead the kids through an evening of sharing skits, sketches, and testimonies that tell the story of the good news of Jesus. It's always a special night. We are always blown away by what happens in so many hearts.

Yep, the staff is what makes Kwest an awesome place. The Lord is the One who changes the hearts.
