The week following was Heartland Kids Kamp (HKK). HKK had 88students in attendance. These few days helped the second through fifth graderslearn, \u201cWhen life is unfair, God is good. When life is good, God is good. Whenlife changes, God is good.\u201d The campers and counselors had fun with asafari-themed week being silly while learning about God\u2019s character. <\/p>\n
The Heartland also had about 25 volunteers go on a HOPEVolunteer Corps (HVC) this summer! The locations of their trips ranged fromBolivia to Haiti to Seattle. We are so grateful for all of those who sacrificedtheir time and money to serve and learn more of what Jesus\u2019 ministry lookedlike to bring home to the middle of the US. <\/p>\n
