Good ol' bus ministry

I am a bus captain at Trinity Baptist Church. Here we are still picking up kids. I am leading the kids in singing a song called "Good News" (It is about the crucifixion of Jesus, it is good news that he died for us).

I made an ugly clown

This was a special promotion where we had to come up with something to do. We decided to dress up as clowns on the way home (we lacked supplies a little).

We gave 'em balloons

The other part of our promotion was we gave each one an animal balloon. This is kind of hard because it takes time, nobody can make up their mind, and everyone wants another balloon (thiers popped, I wanted another, I want a scorpion *grr*).

Jimmy with some kids

This is a picture of Jimmy Baldwin, one of my helpers, posing with Sabastion, Jessica, and their cat Sasha. This was during our weekly visitation on Saturday.

Jimmy again

Jimmy once again with more of our bus kids during visitation.

Going to Neighborhood Bible Time

This is actually from my second summer traveling Neighborhood Bible Time. We ran several bus routes picking up children for our practice rallies.

The young crowd

These are some of my younger kids that rode my bus route at Trinity Baptist Church.

Kiree's Grin

Kiree is another one of my bus kids. Jimmy Baldwin is the one sleeping in the background.

Neighdorhood Bible Time

Doing some mingling

This is after one of our teen rallies during our training at NBT. You can notice three of the evangelists in the background (wearing their ropes).

Playing at our "Destination Unknown"

This was the teen Destination Unknown for our NBT training. We take all the teens someplace unknown to them and play a lot of sports games.

Laying down at the DU

Some lazy teenagers doing what they do best, laying down.

Girls playing volley ball

We split up the girls and the boys at the DU. The girls played volley ball while the boys played football. Then we switched.

More volley ball

Yet another picture like the last.

Guys playing volley ball

Now the girls are playing football and the guys are playing volley ball.

NBT registration

Here is registration at our practice ralley for the kids. The evangelists are the ones in dress shirts and ties. We were entertaining the kids and made many of them balloon hats while they were waiting.

Teen Decorations

Here is one of the decorations one of the churches made for me. Our teen program my second year was called "Country Feud." They decorated the place with hay bales, flowers, and other themed items.

Baptist Youth Mission

Playing with our floater ball

BYM provided me with a floater ball to play with. We were playing Big Ball Soccer. This is actually the only time the whole summer I played this game with a floater ball because it could actually be popped. Since our group was small (and girls too) I figured it would be ok.

More Big Ball Soccer

My EIT (Evangelist-in-training) Andy took several pictures of us playing the game.

Yet another big ball picture

You can tell the floater ball at this time has begun to lose quite a bit of air. The only lasted about 5 to 10 minutes before they had to be filled up again.
