This past weekend  Wild Kingdom  loaded up on a bus and headed to Timber-Lee Christian Center in East Troy, WI for our annual winter retreat. We had a blast playing and growing together!

I’d like to share a few highlights I observed:

1. On our bus ride up the driver  said, “Wow! Your group are angels!” I always enjoy it when other people think our group is well-behaved
2. I saw our group mixing up cliques really well! I saw middle schoolers connecting with new people and choosing to include each other!
3. I loved how our group lead the way during worship times – no reservations!
4. I saw middle schoolers freely praying out loud for each other!
5. I was privileged to be part of conversations where middle schoolers chose to step up in faith!

My favorite middle schooler quote from the weekend: “I would give anything to be close with God!”

Please join me in asking God for more!
