We spend the several days of July at our annual Camp Awesome, the highlight of the year for so many of our kids. We took a total of 52 campers and leaders to Hidden Falls Ranch for an extremely hot yet also extremely awesome time of camp. We swam, hiked, climbed, raced go carts and …
If I could summarize July in three phrases, it would be this: heat wave, Hot Cheetos, and holy moments! Despite the Texas heat, we’ve stayed cool with hundreds of water balloons, countless popsicles, and even more laughter. Our volunteers and kids have had an incredible summer together! One of the highlights of the month was walking …
The kids were more than ready for summer – and water balloon fun – to start! But we had so much more in store for the month of June that just water balloons. The youth from Hillside Church campuses all over Amarillo came out in early June for our annual summer block parties. We enjoyed …
Summer is in full swing, and we are so thankful for all that God is already doing through Mission 2540 in Lubbock! Every week we’re seeing new opportunities to build relationships with kids, families, apartment staff, volunteers, and community partners. Thank you for praying and cheering us on as we continue to plant seeds of …
One of the best things about the month of May is getting watch so many of our “kids” graduate. Watching them grow into young adults and head off to chase their dreams is so rewarding. We want our kids to dream of a better future and set goals to get there. Walking across the stage …

April, like always, seemed to fly by (figuratively and literally – it was windy!) We had big crowds and big fun. Of course, that meant some really energetic kiddos – they are so ready for summer! On the afternoon of April 27, a grass fire in northeast Amarillo spread quickly and came dangerously close to …
We’ve made it through the first 3 months of 2026 already! March was capped off by our annual Celebration Banquet (taking place in the Spring instead of December for the first time ever). It was a great night. It’s always an honor that folks take time out of their busy schedules to hear some stories, …
The shortest month of the year sure felt like it! Unseasonably warm weather has the kids asking us when Camp Awesome is as well as when we get to start throwing water balloons. They’re ready for summer! Below are pics of the fun from the past month.
And just like that, the first month of 2026 is wrapped up! We started out with beautiful weather that allowed us to get outside and run. We ended with a cold, snow week, but that still didn’t slow down the fun! We spent the month talking about “Being Chill,” and how we can bring conflict …
