Chel Riley Adventures

Riley has a rude awakening one summer day when his plans to go on a exotic animal hunt get spoiled because he had forgotten about the soccer camp that he had let his friend Chel talk him into. Bitter and grumpy things go from bad to worse as Riley figures out that hes the worst player in the camp. Chel tries to encourage him through the different activities and drills and just as Rileys attitude begins to brighten along comes Bruno the ball hog. Brunos attitude and ability clash with Rileys pride and the war for the soccer ball begins. Chel struggles to keep Riley from doing something really bad and even their friendship gets tested. What will God teach Chel & Riley in this adventure?

Chel & Riley are always on the lookout for new adventures. After a game of “hide and seek” at Chel’s house turns into a disaster, Riley returns home to discover that his favorite, furry pal is missing. Not only is Laser missing, but Chel & Riley discover that he’s been dog-napped. A ransom note threatens to turn Laser loose out in the wild – whatever that means – unless the pair retrieves a long sought for treasure buried at a nearby archeological dig. Chel & Riley must brave a deserted museum, a towering dirt mound and a pit filled with dark and scary tunnels, all to try and find clues that will lead them to the hidden treasure and to Laser’s safe return. But, God is teaching Chel & Riley more than just about history in this adventure. God is going to showing them how to trust him even in the mummy’s tomb.

Chel & Riley really hated being bored, so Riley sets out to plan an adventure that the children will never forget. After digging through several exciting but expensive adventures, the two settle on an amazing and free expedition up a nearby mountain. Little do Chel & Riley know that danger lurks around every turn of the mountain path. On the one hand, the children marvel at the beautiful scenery that God has made; and on the other, wild animals lay quietly in the darkness of a cave waiting for some unsuspecting prey to walk in. The peaceful and pleasant pathways give way to crumbling ledges that lead down rocky cliffs. And most importantly, a lone dark figure lingers in the shadows following the children’s every movement. They don’t see him, but somehow they know he’s there. Is he their friend or a dangerous enemy? What lessons will God teach Chel & Riley on the Great Mountain Adventure?
