Building relationships through service... Kidz Dayz 2017 In 2014 Lighthouse Christian Ministries created Kidz Dayz—a four-week summer day camp where chil- dren in the Bayshore area can come for healthy meals, fun activities, and educational experiences. Kidz Dayz was created to help families in need by giving children a safe environment to learn about the gospel and engage with their peers without placing a financial burden on their families. Instead of spending their summers in front of a screen, kids can come to Kidz Dayz to be fed both physically and spiritually. This summer LCM hosted Kidz Dayz 2017; For Real—Making History Come to Life. Using key charac- ters from biblical history, our Kidz Dayz program taught our kids how seemingly “mythical” figures from the Bible are real humans with real experiences that are much like their own. We are so grateful for all our sponsors and partners this year who enabled us to serve 126 kids and their families. Thanks to Bayshore Friends Church, Gloria Dei Lutheran, Clear Creek Community Church, and Bay Harbour United Methodist Church for leading worship and being a part of teaching children about the history of the Bible. Thank you to Al Garza’s Premier Martial Arts for hosting entertaining and educational workshops and activities for our kids. Thank you to On Point Transportation for providing busses to take our kids to and from our host location. Thank you to the Galveston County Food Bank and Houston Food Book for provid- ing 2388 healthy breakfasts and lunches for the children of the Bayshore area. And thank you to all who donated their time, energy, and money to spreading the gospel to kids and their families in our community!
