Monday Snapshot

What an awesome day. After breakfast we had an opportunity to spend some time alone with God. Afterwards we split out into seperate youth groups for some individual time to talk about what God is doing individually. Students were very open during the group time sharing what God has already been teaching them and some shared steps they need to take to get closer to God.

After lunch we had times for paintball, horseback riding, cross country skiing, broomball, gym time . . . pretty much just about anything. We had four hours of amazing fun times together to laugh and get connected.

The big moment last night was during our session. As Drew shared about how sin can really cause an infection in our heart caused by sin. He challenged students to identify what sin they have been struggling or what things they have been doing that have been causing them to sin. They were challenged to release those things to Christ and allow him to cleanse them. We celebrated together in worship together. They're have been some great discussions during our dorm times of what students have released to God.

For our final activity together we pulled together in the gym for a time of community dodgeball. There is no better way to bring a group together than to throw rubber balls at one another. Guy or girl, leader or student, this was an awesome way to end the night together in fun.

Continue to pray for God's move in the lives of the students as the next few days go on and continued safety. Pray also for our time together after TAWG this morning in about an hour and a half.

We'll be posting some pictures this afternoon so you can see first hand what we've been up to. Until then . . .
