WOW has given our family something to share together that allows us to naturally talk about our walk with God along with our interest in water sports. As a family, we've reviewed the lessons together while remembering the fun analogies, etc. It shows our daughter that you can have fun while talking openly about how to be a better Christian, and other things about God.
Our daughter has always had an understanding of her walk with God. As she moves into her teen years, however, there are so many interests that pull at her time and attention. WOW has been great in that it allows her to spend time in something she loves - water-skiing - while taking a few minutes to spend with God in Bible Study. The leadership is awesome. Debbie has developed a great friendship with our daughter and is a wonderful mentor for her to look up too.
I tell everyone I can about the WOW ministry!! I love it!
The Love God devos were great. Anytime our family sees 'LG' we always smile and say to each other -- Love God! The devos were written with contemporary hearts in mind.
Our daughter’s time on the water was awesome!! It is so fun to see her excel in her abilities. I love the fact that WOW has each person set a goal for the summer for them to work toward. . . what a sense of accomplishment at the end of the season.
The service project is a wonderful aspect to WOW. Our family is blessed with many things - providing our daughter an opportunity to serve helps her understand how blessed she is. . . it also is a great lesson in how God provides for others through His servants.
My daughter participated on Tuesday's WOW. My family has been involved in the WOW program starting with my son back quiet a few years ago. I've stated in the past that every time my son would come home from WOW, he would come through the door singing and always happy and in a good mood. I knew it was a good thing! My daughter has always enjoyed the WOW program. She meets new friends every year. I have found that it is the one thing that she doesn't mind going to by herself with the anticipation that she will meet new friends. For a girl that age meeting new friends is usually out of the question. My daughter is my family's rock when it comes to Church and her faith in Christ. She is the one that makes us put our busy schedule aside and attend church activities. She didn't just get this on her own. She must have learned this or had such a positive experience with WOW that it pours out at home? She loves water sports so the combination makes for an all around VERY GOOD thing. Keep up the good work. WOW’s outreach to these children mean a lot and my family appreciates your dedication.

"The devotions really got to me because they were well prepared and deep." Georgia
"WOW is a fun way to learn more about God through devos and prayers, and to learn how to improve your skills on the water." Gabby
"The children from Mary's Place seemed to really enjoy and appreciate the event put together by WOW. Most of the kids couldn't wait until it was their turn to be out on the water, and all enjoyed the games on land that were organized by WOW volunteers." Dawn
Our faith was strong going in, but I am always looking for ways to connect Maggie with other believers, as well as witness to those kids who might not yet believe. I felt in particular, Adam's witness was a strong one for the group -- thanks for that. It is neat to see the older kids mentor the younger ones. Maggie has definitely been striving for a more faithful daily devotion time -- could be multiple messages from church, Bible camp, youth group, and WOW. All good stuff!
We have already recommended friends to try WOW. We tell them it is good, clean, Christian fun on the water!
Our daughter learns from the example of the other leaders on HOW to do devotionals. Most of the information she knows already. (She goes to a Christian K-8 school, where every subject is taught with a connection to the Bible.) The leaders in WOW help her grow in her faith by being an example of how to present faith to others.
Maggie's time on the water was fun for her -- she learned to kneeboard and wakeboard this summer.
Mary’s Place Service project was a good outreach -- definitely good for these affluent suburban kids to reach out to those less fortunate than themselves. Good for our kids to see that homelessness happens to average kids

WOW!! What an impact WOW has had on our family this summer. I am a fairly new believer (about 5yrs.) and have really been praying that God would soften the hearts of our children so that they too would have a relationship with Christ. Because I am new to my faith, I was not feeling very confident in my own bible knowledge and my ability to share it with our kids. God answered my prayers beyond even my own thoughts and desires through WOW. ( I love when He does that!)
A friend called one day last spring, and said she had heard about a waterski/wakeboard camp that runs on a couple of the lakes nearby. Both our boys are avid water sports guys. She had no idea that it was a Christian camp. I found it on the web. Half the time in the water, half the time in bible study - how great is that?! We signed the boys up - the last two spots of course!
Through WOW, God opened the door to our son's heart. Every week, whether right after his WOW day or while he was doing his devotional or just driving in the car, we had amazing conversations about God and how he works in our lives and how he wants us to live our lives and love him. A gift beyond words. WOW has been the avenue to bring God into our home. God is great!
As a result of our growth in Christ, we felt the need to find a church that better supported us. We spent some time this fall at different churches. After one particular Sunday, I asked our son how his class had gone and he said, “It was pretty lame, Mom. We read one verse and then played some games. It sure wasn’t WOW.” What a compliment and what a blessing! Our son was so filled up this summer on God’s word that even church isn’t matching up!
We are so very thankful that God is working so strongly through WOW to teach God’s message of truth and hope to kids. And we are so very thankful that God put us together. An enormous thank you to the entire WOW staff for all of your effort and energy you put into this program. You are all in our continued prayers that God’s strength and wisdom will keep working through you , so that you can continue to share it with all of us. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
Peace and love,
Jenny
I just wanted to drop you a quick note and tell you how much my two children enjoy and look forward to WOW each week. It has been a great experience to grow in water sports and more importantly in spirit. How valuable it is to meet kids outside of their regular sphere of influence that also want to grow in their relationship with Christ. The devotionals made them ponder their relationship with God as well with those around them.
Thanks for making it a great summer and making each year better and better.
Sincerely,
Mary
I just wanted to say thank you for another great summer of WOW for my boys. Matt did his 4th year of WOW and Brett did his first year of Jr. WOW this year. They both just loved it and couldn't wait for WOW days! Our family has really enjoyed being a part of WOW because we all love water sports and we all love Jesus! The combination is fantastic! It has been inspirational to see how you have followed the Lord's leading in your life to start this ministry to young people. Our kids feel loved and valued at WOW and they are encouraged to grow in their faith more every summer. Matt says WOW helped him to learn to do devotions more and he loved hearing the testimonies of pro wakeboarders like Shaun Murray! Brett learned to read his Bible more and the devotions at WOW really made an impact on him (like the one about your parents and the boat keys). I could sense that both boys grew in the sincerity and depth of their faith this summer because of WOW.
I think the highlight of the summer for me was helping out with the kids of Mary's Place. It was so fun to talk with those kids and see them smile and relate to our kids. It was great for our kids to be servants and learn how to give to those less fortunate than ourselves. It was great to be able to communicate with these kids and find out about their lives and the struggles they have. What a great experience for them to be able to try waterskiing/wakeboarding and to hear the gospel too!
Thanks for all your work at this ministry. It is making a lasting impact for Jesus.
In Him, Dave and Linda
Our families faith in Christ has been impacted by WOW by helping us see that Christ can be a part of our lives whether we are at home or play, on land or water and no mater who we are with. It was fun to see that even Zachary picked up on some of the devo messages.
My faith in Christ has been impacted by WOW by allowing to help me see who God is in a light other than in church and helping me realize His awesome power. I would tell a friend that WOW is really fun. learn a lot about water sports and your faith gets deeper. Alex
I would tell a friend that WOW is really fun. You get to have a lot of fun on the water, meet new people and learn a lot about God in a more personal way. Plus you get to have really good lunches. Angela
"It's a great way to meet friends and learn more about the Lord." Georgia
Through the "Love God" devos I learned how strong someone's faith can be. Alex
Through the "Love God" devos, I learned what it really mean to love God, not just pray to him and think that that is the way to love God. Angela
My child's time on the water was something that they looked forward to all week. The fellowship even on land or in the boat was very rewarding, and there are still funny stories that they talk about.
The service project to Mary's Place was very humbling. We were happy to serve the kids and help them have a great experience. But when you look at where you are in life and where they are in life, it is a wonderful reality check. One that should be preformed as often as possible and not just once a summer. (Not that we have to have more service projects through WOW, but it has caused me to open my eyes more to where our family, and not just me , may be needed in our community.) In addition it makes you feel very blessed for even the smallest thing that you have.
Jane
Our son was in the Jr. WOW this summer and I just wanted to share with you what a terrific experience it was for him and ultimately how it has affected our family. What a tremendous experience to talk in depth about God and his love for us with my 11 yr. old son! It is something I have prayed for for a long time and something I never imagined would be fulfilled to this extent. What a gift and a blessing! I am very thankful to Malibu for their support of WOW and for letting God work through you to bless others.
We ended the summer on a very happy note, in that we bought the Malibu wakesetter that our son boarded behind all summer from WOW! My son spent the next week saying, "I can't believe it's ours. I can't believe it's ours!" It is an amazing boat. We are all having a hard time waiting for next summer. When we got the boat out of the water, our son walked all around it. When he got to the back he called me over and read me the verse on the back of the boat... "Come, Jesus said. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on water and come toward Jesus." Matt 14:29. My son then said," Isn't that cool! Everyone on the lake is going to see that and know we believe in God." Wow! God answered my prayers beyond my own thoughts and desires.
NEW WOW HOST FAMILY!
This summer in WOW I learned how to get up on one ski - almost! I also learned that with God, everything is possible and if you're struggling with something, pray to God for help and He'll help you. Alyse
This summer in WOW I learned to be a better slalom skier. I also learned that you can't do anything without God's strength and that you can love God with more than just your soul, you can love Him and Glorify Him through skiing and your actions. Amy
This summer in WOW I learned how to get up on a wakeboard. I also learned that I can do anything if I believe in God and to love God and trust in His word! Zach
This summer in WOW I learned how to slalom. LG means to love God with your heart soul mind and strength no matter what the situation. Naomi
I'm so thankful that my daughter has had the opportunity to learn to ski, appreciate the water and most importantly learn more about the most awesome power - God! Thank you so much! Debbie
This summer in WOW I learned how to ski. I also learned that God is with you no matter how you feel. I learned to Love God means to believe in Him. Alex
This summer in WOW I learned how to Wakeboard, to pop off the wake, indy and a tailgrab. I also learned the story of Samson. To love God means to be devoted to Him. Logan
This summer in WOW I learned how your soul is like the motor of a boat. If you treat is well, you'll be fine, but if you don't your life will be all nasty. Matt
This summer in WOW I learned how to ski better. I also learned that I can always be strong when God is with me. You can always trust God in all you do. Noah
This summer in WOW I learned how to do a switch180, shifty's, and a backside 180. I also learned about Samson. Loving God means to believe in God and never take your eyes off of Him. Tom
The summer of 2002 I was laid off from my job and blessed with a severance package to be a stay-at-home mom for the entire summer. I trailered our Cheetah Fish & Ski boat (with 130 Yamaha motor) to the Lake 4 to 5 days a week for time on the water with our children. My goal was to teach them waterskiing, but all Matt would do is Tube. Matt’s desire was to wakeboard since he was already an avid snowboarder. Matt purchased a scratch n dent wakeboard at Sport Mart and at age 12 fell in love with Wakeboarding behind our 130 Yamaha motor. By the summer of 2003 our boat was not the right one for wakeboarding. I offered up a prayer to the Lord something like this, “Lord, I know we can’t afford a wakeboarding boat, but it sure would be nice if there was a wakeboarding club that the kids could get involved with”. I started checking the ski websites and making phone calls, but didn’t come up with anything. Then one day a friend of mine told me of a family that was involved in a Christian Wakeboarding Club. I contacted the family and she told me about WOW. Matt joined WOW the summer of 2004 along with the two friends boys. As I look back on my simple prayer, I am thrilled at how God answers prayer---he led our family to a CHRISTIAN Wakeboarding Club!
Two years later our son and his friend were asked to be in the young leaders group. Now that they could both drive themselves to WOW, I missed my time with the boys in the commute and never was able to meet the host family. But I was very blessed as a Mom when one summer day they came into my home office to critique their Bible Jeopardy Game. They had a tag board organized with 5 columns and note cards color-coded with questions, and answers underneath. I was impressed at their excitement to make the teaching time FUN for their 10 year-old group. Yes, there were times when Matt thought about “skipping” the WOW group because he’d rather work and make money, but this was a great Life-Lesson that he had to “stick” with his commitment to the younger group. As parents, we were able to remind the boys that others have given up their time so they could learn wakeboarding and now it was their turn to sacrifice---just as Jesus sacrificed his life for us. We must learn to die to self to gain.
Please be encouraged, WOW team. This ministry is impacting young lives with a safe place to have outdoor fun and “grow in faith”.
Blessings to you all,
Mike, Cindy & Matt
Our host family was absolutely awesome, and so were all the other volunteers. Their love for WOW and the kids was so evident. It was such a gift to both of us that Joe could participate in the camp! He is already looking forward to next summer's WOW. We have the beautiful picture book on our coffee table, and it is a great way to witness too .
I am encouraged to see the body of Christ in action in such a cool way. It is amazing to see how WOW has grown, and to see how everyone worked together to pull off another great season. Joe
Joe says he learned a “bunch more” about God. It's very fun and I got a lot better at wakeboarding. They teach you a lot about wake boarding and God. I leaned that we need to love God with our whole heart, soul, strength and mind.
The WOW program was the only thing that Skyler participated in this summer. I wish it was more than once a week because he so looked forward to Tuesdays.
Dear Walk on Water,
I can't say enough how impressed I was with WOW. I had two of my boys in WOW and they looked forward to going every week. We were most impressed with the young men and women and whole families that were dedicated to making this program not only a warm, friendly, and fun time but the way in which they represented Christ. The character of the people working it was outstanding....someone they could relate to ....have fun with ...be safe with...and most importantly... developing a hunger for God. Thank you so much for everything!!! We will not only highly recommend WOW to our friends but God-willing...have all 4 boys do it next summer. Stay in touch and keep working to God's glory!!!
JoEllen
I cannot express enough how WOW has made such an impact on my daughter attitude towards her faith. She not only is very proud of her ability to recite readings from the Bible, but has gained an interest in Christian Rock Music.
It is very rewarding to see my daughter's faith grow and have a Bible by her beside, one that she picks up and reads. She also is very excited to share her readings.
Throughout the summer, She was very excited to attend WOW, in fact made an effort to schedule around the Wed. nights to avoid missing a week.
WOW is a great concept. An organization that allows youth to find faith in their life, while connecting to individual interest, skiing and wakeboarding.
We plan to attend WOW next year and many more to come.
Regards,
Christie
My 14-year-old daughter has a really tender spirit for the Lord that I want to protect and nurture. At the same time she's a real competitor and loves physical activity. WOW has been a blessing on both fronts. She loves the wake-boarding, comes back excited about what she's accomplished after each session, and loves the fellowship and camaraderie of the group as a whole. The combination of challenging activity, fellowship, and Bible study is nurturing her in multiple facets of her life. She never wants to miss a week, so our summer is pretty much scheduled around WOW. I have found this activity well worth the investment in time and money, and look forward to having her involved in this group for many years to come.
Thank you,
Tami
WOW was the hi-lite of our son Matt’s summer. Matt had started wake-boarding 2 summers ago behind our 15 year old fish & ski boat and fell in love with the sport. When I heard about WOW through a friend I was excited as a parent to know of a Christian group where our son could enjoy his favorite summer sport, meet new friends and be mentored by older “brothers”. Matt is already wondering who, what & where WOW will be next summer – and he’s planning on inviting new friends to join him in the sport of wake-boarding. Thanks for your dedication to the youth that love to Walk on Water!
The Morrone’s
The WOW experience has been great! I volunteered by supplying and driving one of the boats. I have 3 young kids 3, 5 & 7. All of them say that they would like me to volunteer again next summer. For us it was a family affair, my wife was on shore with the kids, playing games and talking with the kids. For me, getting on the boat with the kids is a great way to hear what's going on in their lives. Even though we were skiing, the coaching translated into relating with them and building trust, it's a great environment for conversation.
Where else can you get 4-5 kids at a time, as a captive audience, with no TV or video games doing something challenging for them physically & mentally?
Frankly, I did not realize how "out of touch" I was with teenagers!
For my kids, they were seeing that having a spiritual life and being cool are one in the same - they can't wait for next year.
I'm not sure who got more out of the experience, my family or the kids in the program.
Mike
My kids had a great time this summer, meeting new people and getting involved in the program. They always came home so happy which tells me things always went good. If there was a schedule conflict with other activities they were involved in, WOW always prevailed!!! I also used the WOW program as a “behavior control” tactic is: “if you don’t go to bed NOW you’re not going to WOW tomorrow”… It always worked, the thought of missing a day of WOW was not acceptable for them. I’ve told other parents and members of my family that “if I ever did anything right for my kids… this program was one of them!”
Keep up the good work and thank you for offering such a wonderful opportunity for our youth.
Kim
This was our first year in WOW and even though the weather was bad almost every week it was a totally positive experience. We have a son, 14 and a daughter, 12, in two different WOW groups and they both loved it. My son, who is all teenager, was very skeptical at first and didn’t want to go. I mean the Bible and wakeboarding? It took about one week to get past that. He was all pumped up about the guys he met from Bethel College and even emailed them his football schedule this week. He always wanted to go even when the weather was bad. The only downside is that now he really really wants a wakeboard tower. How much bible study he got in, I don’t know, but from our perspective it’s worth it just to have him around “cool” guys who are generally positive and positive about their own personal religious experience.
My daughter has always been a pretty good bible student and she seemed to enjoy the lessons. It also got her much more into wakeboarding than she had previously and that was a good thing. She really enjoyed the retreat and getting to know the other WOW girls.
We are definitely in for next year. Thanks
BTW – I have had at least 3 families at work ask me about WOW.
Rich
"WOW has been one of the most exciting ministries we have ever been involved in. Not only does it revolve around one of the greatest past times on earth, but more importantly, it is another avenue that the Lord is using to impact kids and their families with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. They may not have been reached had it not been through a sport that they love. We have been privileged to serve the Lord through WOW!"
Mick and Wendy
Walk on Water is an amazing way for me to use the gifts and passions that God has given me to honor and glorify him. Walk on Water has given me the opportunity to serve God through my love of water sports and wakeboarding.
Kevin
Comments from a volunteer perspective:
-great opportunity to interact with kids, help them grow in their faith and develop water skills
-WOW opens doors in the water sports world
-the WOW experience is unique because of the water setting
-WOW offers the kids a chance to get pulled behind a boat that they would otherwise not have
-fun to see kids step out of their comfort zone on the water while growing and maturing in their faith at the same time
If I were a corporate or church sponsor, one point that would attract me is that the money stays in the WOW community and is used to spread the Word among local youth.
JoAnne
I would love to take this opportunity to share what an enormous blessing WOW has been for Joey this summer.
The kick off weekend was a big hit. Joey (10) did not know anyone, but he loved having his dad along and came back exited about the new friends he made. This was also a great way to meet kids that would be in other WOW sessions this summer and at the special outreach event.
After only 2 wakeboard camp days Joey announced in July that next year he would like to plan his summer around the WOW days, so he would be sure not to miss any. He loved coming even when he could not participate in the actual wakeboard part one day because he had stitches in his leg from a bike mishap. Wake boarding was the initial attraction, but everything else that came with it glued him there.
Joey adored all the staff and frequently mentioned stuff they had shared with the kids during the devotional time. It made a big impression, because what they shared was so personal, so real, and so right on with what mattered to the kids.
Not only was the staff very accomplished at wakeboarding and able to teach it, their love for the Lord, their love for these kids and the way they live this out in their lives made an incredible impact.
Devotional time was such a blessing. A time to connect with each other on a spiritual level, a welcome break in the middle of the camp day, with delicious and nutritious lunches so lovingly prepared by the WOW volunteers.
Joey loved the Bible he received (Fellowship for Chr. Athletes), and never complained about the scripture memorizations. As part of his summer chores at home Joey was supposed to spend time reading and spend time in God's Word. After he received the new Bible he decided that all the reading he would do daily would just be from that same Bible.
What also made WOW so effective was the schedule. Having weekly sessions vs ‘one full and intense week’ laced Joey's summer with a connection with our Maker. While the regular programs keep the consistency during the school year, church gets missed for summer travel and it is easy to put everything on hold till fall. WOW helped keep our eyes on the Lord all summer!
The outreach to the Latino community was a huge blessing as well. I have been trying to plant seeds for mission work with Joey for a while, but it was always met with a big 'No Thanks!' WOW taught him how much fun you can have while reaching out to others for Christ, and the door has been cracked open....
It was also such a blessing to see a large group of people that day, which such diversity in cultural backgrounds, all join together for the common theme, in total acceptance of each individual's uniqueness.
Joey developed lasting friendships, and has already been 'recruiting' friends to come for next year. The camp has been a great avenue to invite folks who may be sitting on the fence about Christianity, and may otherwise not ever get exposed to the gospel message in such a real and authentic fashion that has been contagious!
WOW has been more than a blessing to Joey, his family and beyond. You know some of our struggles, and Satan tries to get a foothold anywhere he can. Joey's involvement with WOW was like being under the shadow of the Almighty, an umbrella of safety hovering over him, and all of us, and the ripple effect will last for eternity.
You are more than a blessing. You are more than an inspiration. To see all that God can and wants to do, starting with ONE person, obedient to His call, a willing heart....and the blessings He pours out as a result of that leaves us all wondering....isn't it time we (I) start to pay attention to His tug at our hearts, and walk in step with HIM for the plans He has for us.....
A 'Thank You' just doesn't cover it, but please know you have started something HUGE for eternity....
God bless you and God bless WOW!!!!
In His love, WOW Mom
We've talked many times about some of the feelings my family has regarding WOW and how it has impacted our lives. One of the things I always notice as a parent is the joy it brings my children. My kids are both heavily involved in youth sports such as hockey, soccer etc..... and they are always going to practices here and there and games. But whenever they come home from WOW, they come thru that door singing and in a good mood! This tells me that they have done something good for themselves and that I must be doing something right. They are always game for playing hooky from this or that but absolutely refuse to miss any WOW event because it means to much to them. I find that WOW is a good way to bring God into there lives in a way that is not the normal Sunday school or Confirmation setting which sometimes isn't always my kids choice of things to do. Thanks for offering these kids a religious atmosphere that they can relate to!
The Bennett's
I've been involved with Walk On Water, since it's humble beginnings, and it's been a privilege to be a part of this ministry and to watch it's growth, as well as the growth happening in people's lives!
It never gets old watching the huge smile emerge on a young person's face, as they get up skiing or wakeboarding for the very first time! Or, to see their excitement as they learn a new trick, or reach a new level of performance! It also warms my heart to have students share with me the things that are going on in their life...good or bad, and to have their parents share the positive impact that WOW has made on their child. Most importantly, is the growth that happens in our young people's faith, as they study the Word and learn about our Lord Jesus Christ. It's been a blessing to be a part such wonderful ministry, and I look forward to seeing how the Lord continues to work in the lives of all involved!
Guy
For me WOW is an answer to a lot of prayer. It is God’s way of giving me something that I am passionet (hmmmm spelling, I dropped out of college... ha) something that I love to spend my time doing, and use it even more to worship and serve Him. I couldn’t ask for anything more, the chance to hang out with a bunch of awesome kids, while wakeboarding, water skiing, surfing, wake skating, bare footing, anything on the water and at the same time get to share with them the real love of my life Jesus Christ. As a leader it is the perfect way to really be a part of these kids’ lives by sharing something they enjoy and using that common ground to step into their lives and share with them the love of Christ.
I love WOW !!!!!

Even though I don't have a kid in it I can tell you what I have seen and learned as a volunteer.
1. Impacting kids now is the key to the future. It has been so valuable to build relationships over a period of time. The kids respond to that. I think volunteering also helps us adults get over stereotypes and preconceived ideas we may have about teenagers and they teach us a thing or two as well. I appreciate that. They keep me young.
2. When we think we're ministering to others, in reality, we get ministered to as adults. Everyone benefits. We have to earn the right to speak truth into their lives and for them to trust us as adults...hence the building of relationships over time.
Patty
I thought that some of my favorite things about W.O.W are that we got to meet once a week and hang out with cool people who didn’t care about what you looked like and could learn to wakeboard and learn about God. The helpers were great and would always do funny things while still teaching you about the basics of God and wakeboarding. They were there if you needed support or if you just wanted someone to talk to. The kids were awesome and you could always find something to relate and talk about with each other. It was just an awesome way to spend an evening and summer.
Alex
WOW has meant so much to me. I absolutely love reaching out to the kids by sharing my faith and having fun with them out on the water. WOW is a great tool used to reach out to youth because what kid doesn't enjoy water sports? The kids are much more open to hearing about the gospel once they have gained your trust while you teach them how to ski or wakeboard.
Erica
Last year was my first year of WOW. When I joined, I thought it was going to be lame. I questioned how this religious stuff was going to fit in. But now I think its great and I’m bummed that I’m 16 and this is my last year. The coaches were really cool.
Justin
Karl’s devotion was my favorite. I never thought much about going on a mission trip but now I think I really want to.

I just wanted to thank you for WOW. This was the first summer that my two boys were a part of it and they have already made me promise to sign them up for next summer. WOW was the highlight of their summer. They are, (of coarse) hooked on wake boarding. They learned so much from you and the other leaders. They loved the devotionals and spiritual application. I heard about it every week. God’s word was not only put to memory but has been put in their heart. Thank you so much for your impact on my kids. We will be back.
Thanks,
Chelly
In the world we live in today with questionable music, movies, and peer pressure on our children, the WOW program is a blessing. WOW is one place to send your child, besides church, where you know the people have morals, values, and a love for Jesus.
Wakeboarding is a fun sport and my children were thrilled to be able to combine their love of the sport with their fellowship.
You does a great job with the program always prompt at getting out important information and great at returning calls with questions and concern. It would be great if WOW could reach more kids in the community. Our kids need more positive experiences that are related to good clean living and fun!!
