The hand or bow drill was a primitive tool to create a spark to ignite fire. Grinding the stick between your hands, creating friction – and this friction creates heat which will hopefully created a hot coal that was then placed in the tinder.

Civilizations from ancient times mastered the use of fire by using many different methods to create just a spark to ignite entire fires.
Man learned to produce fire by rubbing together two pieces of stone or flint together. He started to use fire for cooking food, for light and heat and to scare wild animals.

Fire… and Faith…. both can start from a simple spark, by hearing the Word of God.
There are many events coming up that provide beautiful opportunities for us to inspire a new generation of faithful believers. To share our faith and be the spark that ignites a child’s faith in God and His Son Jesus Christ!
What is faith?
d83bad78-20b8-f88c-3fc1-d4ee37bf957d@yahoo.com>”>
Faith forms a bridge that connects truth and hope.
At one end, the bridge of faith rests securely on the solid foundation of scripture. At the other end of the bridge, lies a soul.
72d00f92-a197-99f2-eb14-cbf84925006f@yahoo.com>”>We have countless opportunities that surround us to pass down our faith to children. To be part of instilling the building blocks of faith which reaches towards God’s intangible promises, and His great love for us.
From the moment we are born, God molds us and shapes us. Isaiah 64:8
Life brings us all to the foot of the cross through our storms.
We get to pass it on….
Genesis 1:26 – Every human being is created in the image of GOD.
“Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the reatures that move along the ground.”
Ecclesiastes 3:11 – God has “set eternity in the hearts of men.”
Luke 17:21 Jesus proclaims, “The kingdom of God is within you.“
Hebrews 4:12 “Every human being possesses a soul-spirit“
Without the truth and life of Jesus Christ, there is no spark!
Without a relationship with Jesus Christ the light of the world, there can be no light!
John 14:6 “Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.“
John 8:12 “Again, Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.“
Young children in the world today are facing challenges which will be insurmountable unless they learn God’s Word and follow Jesus.
This year TIDAL RIVER CHRISTIAN CAMP celebrates it’s 50th Anniversary!

IT ONLY TAKES A SPARK
It only takes a spark
To get a fire going,
And soon all those around,
Can warm up to its glowing.
That’s how it is with God’s love,
Once you’ve experienced it,
You spread His love to everyone
You’ll want to pass it on!
What a wondrous time is spring,
when all the trees are budding
The birds begin to sing, the flowers start their blooming
That’s how it is with God’s love
Once you’ve experienced it
You want to sing, it’s fresh like spring
You want to pass it on
I wish for you my friend,
This happiness that I’ve found
You can depend on Him,
it matters not where you’re bound
I’ll shout it from the mountain top!
I want the world to know!
The Lord of Love
Has come to me,
I want to pass it on!
I’ll shout it from the Mountain top!
I want the world to know,
The Lord of Love
Has come to me,
I want to pass it on!
I’ll shout it from the Mountain top!
I want the world to know,
The Lord of Love
Has come to me,
I want to pass it on!
LIGHT THE FIRE

Lord You know (Lord You know)
Where I’ve been (where I’ve been)
So light the fire, in my heart again.
I feel Your arms around me
As the power of Your healing begins
You breath, new life into me
Like a mighty, rushing wind
But I fall on my knees
My spirit is willing,
By my flesh is so weak
Light the fire (light the fire)
In my soul (in my weary soul)
Fan the flame (fan the flame)
Make me whole (make my spirit whole)
Lord You know (Lord You know)
Where I’ve been (where I’ve been)
So light the fire, in my heart again.

Make me whole (make my spirit whole)
