Snow-less Meltdown....but a Power-full God!

We may not have had any snow, but we had an awesome time at Winter Meltdown 2012! We learned a lot about God and how we should live for Him. The question was asked "What should we do" with all of the heart-ache, pain, suffering, and loss in our world today? We learned about what our Biblical responses should be. We were challenged by Pastor Dark to have compassion, be connected, stay consistent, and be committed to patience. It was evident that these messages had an impact on the students that were there. The testimony time we had on Saturday evening was evidence of that. Of course, the activities and games and challenges were a blast too!....and the best thing of all....Jake's friend Brent accepted Christ as His Savior too! What a blessing! What a fun trip! What a God who is full of love and grace! Special thanks to Chase and Deeann Oldfield for being youth leaders on this trip. I believe they have moved into the "veteran" status when it comes to Winter Meltdowns! This was their 4th year in a row going to Winter Meltdown! We need to say a BIG THANK YOU to them for their faithful service and a BIG THANK YOU to God for His many blessings!
