WinterXtreme

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!

A student comes to Christ!

At our Winter Retreat this year we had a great time together and were challenged to Watch ourselves and our friends, Arm ourselves with the full armor of God, and Respond to God’s call on our lives. Over the weekend one of our students who is relatively new to our ministry prayed to receive Christ into her life! What a joy to see a young person surrender her life over to Christ!
