This morning, 12 teams headed out to 24 different apartment complexes & neighborhoods to invite families to send their kids to Bible Club next week! Please pray for protection, open doors, soft hearts — and for many children to sign up!

One of the biggest milestones of training week: THE 5-MINUTE SPEECH!

The summer missionaries did a great job pushing through their fear and presenting a speeches in front of their fellow teammates! It was fun to hear a variety of different topics from personal salvation testimonies and lessons learned to hobbies such as American sign-language, umpiring for baseball, and raising chickens.

This morning, Laura continued helping us dig deeper into what we really believe about God. We were confronted with the sobering reality that so many believers live in bo***ge & fear — simply because we do not truly believe God is Who He says He is.

If Jesus is the King of kings, He is victorious over all sin, spiritual powers, fear, and death. But we often don't believe and behave like that is the true reality!

Laura challenged us to view every fear and temptation as it actually is: an opportunity to learn and experience the attributes of God.

Our summer missionaries have had a VERY full 4 days here!

They started with some fun team-building icebreaker activities on the first night, then jumped right into intense training! Students in Basic Level have already completed 2 big milestones:
- Sharing the Gospel evaluation
- a 5-minute public speaking evaluation

Right now they're working on learning their missionary story and practicing how to retell it in a dynamic, exciting way!

We are so grateful for this incredible group of dedicated discipleship coaches and team leaders who have volunteered 3 weeks of their summer to come and invest in the summer missionaries during Operation Impact!

Please pray for wisdom, strength, and vision for them as they support and lead the summer missionaries the next couple of weeks.

This morning, Laura helped us dive in deeper to expose how what we "know" is true about God often differs from what we truly BELIEVE about God.

What we actually believe about God is revealed in our thoughts, feelings, and actions.

She challenged us with the question: "Do we make ourselves the exception to what God says about Himself?"

- We know God is love, but do we believe He loves *me*?
- We know God provides, but do we believe He provides for *me*?
- We know God answers prayer, do we believe He answers *my* prayers?

The way we view God impacts everything we do, every day.

Chad laid the foundation for our theme "Behold Our God" by highlighting an unexpected area that hinders us from recognizing God in our lives: our lack of gratefulness.

"The more you start looking, the more you’re going to start to see. If you focus on problems, the more problems you're going to see. You find whatever you’re looking for."

"If I cannot choose to give thanks when things are hard, I end up griping even when things are good. Choosing to give thanks, even when it’s hard — it's a sacrifice that honors God."

Operation Impact 2026 launched TODAY! 64 students & staff traveled in, enjoyed getting to know their fellow summer missionaries, and went through orientation to prepare them for the next 3 weeks.

Please pray for this group as they begin training tomorrow — jumping right in with how to share the Gospel with children! They'll also be stretched in their communication and leadership skills through lots of hands-on application.

We can't wait to see what God is going to do in & through the lives of this incredible group of young people!
