Well, we moved out here to Orofino, Idaho about three and a half weeks ago. The drive was long, and we had very sore rear ends by the time it was over. Our cell phone doesn’t get service out here, we didn’t have phone service for the first week, and we just now got internet. So it’s been a little frustrating. But God, as always, came through and everything is now going great. For those of you who don’t know (I guess that’s most of you, hmm), I moved to Idaho because my dad is the pastor of two churches...

This morning, we had so much fun. We had people taking pictures, we went into our groups and we brainstormed names. It was fun, because we used our creative minds. We decided to do the kingdom of life, which is from "The Light" (the christian remake title for twilight). it  is using John 8:12. I loved something else and Shashi. We had amazing fun, and i am glad i got to share. Jesus Christ is the most amazing thing in my life and i am glad to grow closer to him this weekend.~Lauren F <3 (:

Our RAD Team, capably led by Lewis, registered about 60 campers this morning, giving each their drawstring sports pack, a New Testament, a pen, and their notebook. We sang and worshipped, worked on the memory verse (Psalm 145:1-2), learned about our mission project, and heard from Something Else, Zorba the Geek, Count Sigma, Ricky-T, and -- finally -- from King Reginald Van Stocking III himself (introduced as always by Sushine, the herald of the king). Then we broke into our Discovery Groups to further study the nature of the True King as described in Psalm 145. We had a great...

RAD ’09 was awesome!! I had so much fun being with all the tweens and helping the adults.  This year I got to ride in a golf cart with Mrs. Cindy during the Multi-Mega-Giga-Game.  I never realized how much work Mrs. Cindy does and how much all the adults have to prepare for tweens and especially for the game (you guys rock!!).  The RAD Team this year was cool too!  I enjoyed hanging out and talking with all of you.  I also loved the music Aaron and Matt played.  I loved jumping up and down and dancing to the music. ...

Wow! RAD ’09 has been one of the coolest years of Tweens! I’ve learned so much about the 9-Sided Pome Poem (for those of you who were not there, the fruits of the sprit). The worship was amazing this year (thanks Aaron and Matt!). We had lots of fun making crazy motions and “getting down!” Small groups were amazing! I was on Mrs. Jenny’s team (who, by the way, is amazing!) and our team name was the “Fruit Loops” and we came in 2nd place in the Multi-Mega-Giga-Game, way to go girls!!!  I think we all can say that the...

 Months ago David T. posted a question for Doc's Question Box. He asked why God created the world and why he created us. I've been pondering that question ever since and haven't been able to give a good answer to it yet. The best answer, I think, is that God wanted to extend His love. But what would you say? Why did God create the universe? And why did he create us?

 It's June and preparations for camp are heating up. I'm working on the teaching materials and the small group (Discovery Group) questions and materials. Mrs Cindy is trying to build the best possible team of adult workers. Kimberlee Tate is at work in preparing the RAD Team (Annsley Tate and Larry Branam are RAD co-captains this summer). We've purchased 104 binders and 100 New Living Translation New Testaments (that's right, you all will get one of your own and it's yours to keep). If (oh, cry and weep) you won't be able to be with us at camp this summer...

Yea! RAD 2009 is getting closer! Are you excited yet? I’m sure a lot of you would answer, “I’ve been ready to go back since the day I left!”  I know that I’m looking forward to the days we’ll get to spend together. It’ll be great to play some four square, worship together, and grow in our relationship with one another! So, what are we going to be talking about this summer at RAD ’09? Thanks for asking. ☺. We’re going to dive into the book of Galatians (can anyone memorize the whole book before camp?) and focus on the...

Bianca and Annsley are One Year Bible partners this year and are both basically on track with their Bible reading. Isn't that pretty awesome? Bianca and Annsley's favorite section of the daily reading is the New Testament. Bianca loved the book of John and Annsley enjoyed the book of Esther. Annsley has realized that there is a lot about the Bible that she never knew. Bianca said, "I've learned a lot, but one thing I've learned is the ten commandments and that we need to follow them." She also said that the hardest thing about the OYB is "remembering to...

Hi, I’m Courtney! I look forward to Indian Springs Camp Meeting every summer! I have lots of great friends there, especially at the Tweens Tabernacle. There is so much to say about the Tweens. I love the puppets; they are so funny! Doc is a really great ventriloquist. But the best part about going to the Tweens is the Multi Mega Giga Games. Everything we learn during camp is used as clues in the games. It is a great way to learn our Bible verses and everything else we study at the tabernacle! Indian Springs is the best camp meeting...

RAD 2008 has been my favorite year so far. Some of the best times were during small group. All the girls on my team were awesome. I love you all! We we're the Nova Diva's this year, with the amazing poster drawn by Worth, and the really super cool cheer (Hey! Hey!). It was such a blessing to get to know Mrs. Gloria, my mentor and group leader, this year!Like always, four-square was incredible! The challenge got harder and harder, the longer we all played, which rocked. All the goofy times (when I was on Kelsey's back), all the serious...

Hello, My name is Catherine H. I was in Kimberlee's group. She is so amazing all three years that I have been at Tweenz I have been in her group. I also had Hannah for our RAD team member. She was so funny and made me laugh all the time. This year was my final year and I am very sad, but I do want to be part of the RAD Team. I really liked Something Else and his family. I had to miss the Kingdom of socks because I had to go home that day, but then came back...

Hi! My name is Katherine. This was my final year at the Tweens. Although is seems sad, it's really not. I've had so many fun times at the Tweens that I know that my time was used wisely. This year though, was the best year of them all. First of all, I was in Kimberlee's group. She makes her group so much fun! She helps everyone get to know one another better. I became extremely close with some of our group. Everything was just so much fun!

Well, guys, RAD 2008 is officially over. Kinda sad? Yet exciting, all at the same time, right? The time we spent together was priceless. The memories: laughter, four-square, MMGG, jewelry making, small groups, Ale-8, running in the rain, Something Else. But there were things that were even more priceless: The commitments you made with Jesus, reading through the Bible in a year, the time we spend together in Worship, being drawn closer to the Lord, learning about the Alpha and Omega, the first 3 chapters and the last 3 chapters, growing closer to our Amazing God. RAD 2008 was wonderful....

    Hi, I'm Worth and I am a tween. Indian Springs is a great place for people to praise the Lord and have fun! This camp is welcome to all Christians from around the world. Every year our offerings go to different contributions and other Christian camps and places.     Here, in the mornings we worship and get into small groups from 9:30 to 12:15. Then from 3:00 to 5:00 we have recreation at the Tabernacle. We play four-square, do jewelry activities, and have either a slip-and-slide or water balloon volleyball. Then at 7:30, we head to the youth (or...

Dear Friends, my Brothers and Sisters in Christ, at Tweens, I hope you remember me; my name is Benjamin Ivey, and I was privileged to be immersed in God's presence with you over the weekend. I enjoyed spending time with all of you so much that I struggled to leave Sunday night. Being at Indian Springs over the weekend has been the greatest highlight of my four months in the United States. I continue to feel as if I were standing right beside you because we share the same heart of love for God and for each other. We are...

This is my first year working in the RAD Program at Indian Springs and God has already blessed Mrs. Holli and me so much!  Our group has Mikal, Connor, Jacob, Logan and Mark in it and we have named ourselves "The Awesome Wonders".  How else can you describe the amazing fact that just like Adam and Eve, we are all made in the image of God?  We have been having very spirited discussions about the various topics during our group time and only wish we had more time to be able to discuss everything in even more detail.  I'm very...

The RAD Project started strong on Friday morning, and is becoming even stronger! The Tweens are having a fabulous time learning and growing in their relationship with Jesus. Memorizing Bible verses, digging into the first three chapers of Genisis, and enjoying Christian fellowship is what has been happening around here the past few days. Of course, we've played tons of four-square and created lots of beuatiful jewelry, along with going down the slip-n-slid and playing with water baloons. In the mornings, the groups have been coming up with creative names, group posters, and team cheers: they're awesome! People are having...

But for those of us arriving early to set up for camp the forecast calls for isolated thunderstorms, highs about 89 and lows about 68 from July 5 through July 11. So bring your sunscreen, but also bring your umbrella.Only once in the history of the Multi-Mega-Giga Game have we had to play the game in the rain (a gentle rain; we won't go out and about if there is lightning), so we always hope for a dry day on game day.Keep up with what's...
