Jr. High Believe
This weekend I had the opportunity to attend a Jr. High Believe conference with our church’s Middle School students. In the course of my life I have probably attened somwhere in the neighborhood of 10 CIY conferences with probably 4 of them being Believe conferences, and this was by far the most fun I have ever had at one. I think for one it was because I was going as a sponsor and not the youth minister in charge. I mean I didn’t have to worry about going to the adult meetings or registering everyone or none of that. I was just able to let loose and act like a Jr. Higher again. And as a CCU alum it seems like every CIY conference is a big class reunion so that was nice to see some of my old buds a hear about what they are up to. I mean, where else can you play hacky-sack, run around in blow up obsticale courses, and leave worship in a shirt soaked with sweat? The answer is NOWHERE!
But more important than all the fun we had doing those things I was really able to see some kids change their attitude about the way they are living their lives. I truly saw 6th graders interested in changing their lifestyle to become a more passionate follower of Christ. We prayed together, we worshipped together, and now we get to try to live out those ambitions together. If that doesn’t make your day, then nothing will. This weekend was truly awesome!
