High School - HUME LAKE!

We had an amazing time at Hume Lake this last weekend! Every single one of us, counselors included, were overwhelmed by God's preparation, conviction, and piercing of our hearts. One of the highlights was the Boxsled Blitz - we created the "Mystery Machine" and could fit our entire group in it! (Only 10 were allowed to go down the tube run in it though) We spent about 4 hours working on the boxsled as a team and then had a several hour snowball fight :) It was so great to see how God unified us over the course of 3 days by moving us to do those group activities and by meeting twice a day as a group just to discuss the messages and what God was putting on our hearts. Another highlight was our guys winning the Kirth Cup in broom hockey! That was incredible - and what's funny is it wasn't really a huge deal compared to all the intense work God had done on our hearts before the final game.

This last weekend was overwhelming on an emotional and spiritual level. Every single one of us was deeply affected - to the point of tears. The theme was Decision '09: deciding to truly follow Christ completely and let go of those things we are still holding onto, coming to Him broken so that He can fix us, and giving Him everything. All of the high schoolers made decisions on Saturday night, broken before God. As a group we stayed up until after 2 am sharing, crying, and praying. And I know we are all still processing what God did the last 4 days. He worked so much in every individual heart and in our group as a body, a family. Praise God!

Please pray for us that God is in us to complete that work that He started, that we pursue godly fellowship, that we serve Him with the entirety of our hearts, and that the unity that God created grows even more. Thank you parents and friends so so so much for your prayers - they were answered in an amazing way! Thank you high schoolers for the most incredible Hume Lake experience there may ever be and for seeking after God this last weekend. And thank you Lord of all for Your grace, Your faithfulness, Your holiness, and Your mighty hand in Your children's lives. We love you!

Winter Camp 2009

Jr. High had a wonderful trip at the end of January.  While we would have liked the amount of snow viewed above we still had lots of fun with what was at Hume.  The kids enjoyed snowboarding, paintball, ice skating, tubing, the "boxsled blitz", "El Diablo" - the bull ride, and so much more.  We were all blessed by our speaker, Ron Merrell, who brought us an incredible message.  It really made an impact.  17 students made some type of a decision this year.  Praise God for such an impact!

In just a few days our Sr. High group is heading up to Hume for their weekend of fun and learning more from God's word.  They will have the snow as it has been storming for several days now.  

Winter Camp is a highlight for each student that participates.  We pray not only for safety for each student, but also for their lives to be touched in a special way.  For God to work in their hearts and grow their relationship with him.  It is a unique and wonderful experience for each of us. 

In the future - keep an eye on the blog for calendar information, activities, and more.
