Youth Alive Day 2 and 3

It is now about 12:30am and I am exhausted! We have had a great couple of days. I really believe that many students are experience a change and they are really evaluating their future in Christ. Many students have made decisions to answer the call that God has laid on their lives.

That is really about all I can come up with so here is a slide show that you can check out.

Youth Alive Day 1

We made it! Any time we take many vehicles on a trip I get a little nervous, but everything went smoothly and it has definitely been worth it. We got here at Tennessee Temple today around 3:00 and got settled into the dorms and got ready for the service tonight. It was awesome! Tonight's speaker was Clayton King and he presented the gospel very clear and concise. It was exactly what the middle students needed to hear. We had 10 salvations and 1 rededication just in the middle school. God is really showing off so far.

Here is a picture of the middle school dodge ball team. They started off great they got every ball in the middle but were soon defeated after that. They really gave their all. Good job guys.

It has been awesome so far! Just keep us in your prayers.

Ignition Service July 16

Last night we just finished up our two week series "Reflection". We started the night off by playing a pocket scavenger hunt and it was really funny. One of our students jump into a trash can and had his buddies bring him up to the front of the room. I was disappointed in the girls though they just sat there and let the boys win most of the rounds. Last night the band played We shine, Everlasting God, and Majesty. You guys really rock out.

Here is a slide show from last night.



Last night we were talking about removing the different mask that we put on to feel valued and love and replacing them with the God and realizing that we are His masterpiece and He accepts us and loves us for who we really are. Not who we pretend to be. Here is the video that I used to start the lesson.

Wednesday Night "Reflection" Week 1

Last night we started a new series with the title of Reflection. This is a series that encourages us to live out our real life. We spend so much time putting masks on so that people will accept us. We simply attempt to cover up who we are for the acceptance from other people.

We started off the series last night discussing how we can become who ever we want on websites like Myspace and Facebook, just so people will value us. Here is a video that I used to illustrate this point.



This has been a challenging series for me and I hope that it challenges all of us to be as reflective of our true selves as possible.
