The Tacoma Rescue Mission youth are having a lot of fun in the sun with our summer program, S.L.A.M., which stands for Students Living A Mission. We started the program this past Monday with a very encouraging and motivating performance by Or1ginAL, and we have been going strong for the past two days. Tomorrow, I am very excited to take the kids rock climbing at Edgeworks, challenging them and pushing them to realize how capable they really are with the bodies God gave them.
In my group with the Kindergarten and 1st graders, we have been focusing on the story of creation. We learned, "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth" from Genesis. We have talked about how God created everything, and He said it was good. Most importantly, He loves his creation, and so we are lovely, and we are all created special and unique. Also, God's creation is a testament to how powerful He is; from nothing He created everything. That is amazing!
I'm excited to see how the rest of the month goes with S.L.A.M. It has only been two days, but I feel like we have already been able to do so much! We have had fun, we have been challenged, and we have already learned so much from each other.
Our volunteers deserve a big shout-out, too. Thank you so much to all those who have donated hours of their time to help out at S.L.A.M. We would not work without your generous help! THANKS!
