This picture is of the group that was there..... The emphasis of the weekend was "The Cost and the Reward of Following Christ." It was an unbelievable time because it is a privilege and an honor to be a part of what God is doing in our youth's lives.. The youth were challenged to totally commit to God no matter the cost, not because it's our duty, but because of the reward that God has given us because of His Son.
it was a bittersweet trip for me because i have realized that this is the last trip I will be taking with the youth group here before I leave for China. It's funny to me how time flies because it was 4 years ago that I took the position of working with youth at Christ Community.
I have seen the group grow from 3 people (Natalie W, Mandy Szeto, and Seth Parrish) to a group that is daily growing in numbers and spiritual maturity! I pray for our youth daily and I hope that they will continue to pray for me! I hope to see them one day in China, working along with me and building the Kingdom of God!
anyway... talk to you again soon!
