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!

This was such an amazing trip, and even though I had only known all of you for three days, the group really grew together. Hume's had a huge impact on my faith and friendships and I can't thank everybody enough:)
