Kelly's Pictures and Other Stuff: Beach Reach 2008

In case you don't know what Beach Reach is, it is where a group of college students go down to Panama City Beach, Florida for spring break and serve free pancakes and do free van rides for spring breakers while sharing the love of God with them. If you want more info about it or want to check out the prayer room stuff, you can go to this website.

Otherwise, here are some of the 254 pictures that I took over my spring break this year!!! It was quite the interesting week. It was warm the first 2 days, then freezing cold the rest of the week...cold enough to wear pants and hoodies. On Tuesday, pancakes were cancelled in the morning due to a tornado warning, so as you will see in pictures, we had a hang out day till night time. During this day my group played games like musical chairs, and had dance parties! We also had 4 baptisms during the crazy weather where there were 2 red flags up (meaning don't swim) and there were jellyfish washing up all over the shore. On the last night it downpoured rain and we all got soaking wet out on the streets. There was also a shooting at a bar, a car accident, and 2 flat tires from our beach reach vans!! It was nuts!! On the way home, there was snow in Tennessee so we had to stop at a church for the night to prevent any car accidents. It took us 36 hours to get home! Depsite the craziness of the week, it was a lot of fun and we all had some amazing God conversations with spring breakers. There were many salvations throughout the week also! For more info or pictures, give me a call or come visit me and you can see all 254 of my pics plus all my videos! Otherwise, enjoy the 15 that I have posted here :)
