Each summer at K-Kountry, our friend FLAME writes a devo rap that we use daily to teach kids God’s truth. It is so fun! Here is a little video of it live at K-Life this past summer.
Listen to FLAME’s devo rap here.
Home Again, Home Again!
First of all, I’m sorry that we have been so poor at updating the blog and letting everybody know what has been happening in the K-World the last few months. We have been on the road since October, but are back home and blogging again.
For the last 7 weeks, Mr. Tig, Kara, Rachel, and myself have logged thousands of miles as we have criss-crossed the country visiting so many of you. We have traveled thousands of miles to Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas. It has been a blast to see so many K-Kountry friends from all over the country. We are counting down the days until summer.
It is good to be back home for the holidays though. Like they say, there is no place like home…and we agree!
Emily Chilson Heads to Afghanistan
Wednesday, September 29, 2010
Former K-Kountry kamper and staff member, Emily Chilson, is currently serving in the Air Force as a Public Affairs Officer and is headed to Afghanistan sometime this month.
Emily is originally from Memphis and graduated from TCU (Go Frogs!) in 2008 as a Second Lieutenant in the USAF. For the past two years, Emily has been stationed at Shaw AFB in Sumter, SC. For the last three months, she has been at Camp Atterbury in Indiana receiving training in counter insurgency, consequence management, and urban operations. She has also spent time at Indiana University learning to speak some Pashto, the most prominent language spoken in the Paktika Province where Emily will be.
At K-Kountry, Emily was better known as “JetStream” for her role in the 2007 RocketSquad Gospel Skit. We are huge Emily Chilson fans and pray God’s blessing and protection on her while she serves our country.
Proud of you Emily!

McLaughlin / Storms Wedding
Tuesday, September 14, 2010
On Labor Day Weekend, two long time K-Kountry staff members (Brett McLaughlin and Joey Storms) tied the knot in Oklahoma City. It was such a blast to see so many K-Kountry friends and families celebrating Brett and Joey’s marriage. The K-Kountry crew was definitely in full effect on the dance floor! Congratulations Brett & Joey. We love you guys.

Baby Sparks is Here!
Tuesday, August 31, 2010
After surviving all summer in mommas belly (and a ride on the blob), baby Sparks is finally here! Beckett John Sparks was born last Thursday, August 26th weighing in at 9lbs 2oz and 22in long…and a whole head of “rock star” hair. He is already requesting a ride down the zipline…but we thought he might wait a few years! Everybody in the Sparks family is doing well and enjoying the new addition.
