Water Balloon Fights

So I've had this blog for a while now and I've been thinking of all sorts of things that we should use it for. One of the things I would like to start doing with this blog is to share some of the funny or otherwise interesting stories that we will talk about on the air. That said, allow me to present to you one of the greatest water balloon fights the world has ever known:



The UK Christian Student Fellowship attempted to break the Guinness world record for largest water balloon fight last year in August. The entire event was put on as an attempt to reach out to the broader student base at UK where school was soon to start and to raise awareness about that particular campus ministry.

I thought it was great. I was there personally, and though they didn't break the record -- they were several hundred short of the current record, held by Microsoft -- so they're teaming up with some other groups and are going out again this August to try again before the school year starts. I intend on being there again, so I'll let you know how that goes!

It was a lot of fun for me and goes to show how making something innovative and fun into a method of outreach can really work!

As an aside, if you have any suggestions as to things we can include on this site please let us know! Thanks!
