Reasons why this weekend'e retreat is gonna be off the chain

1) The creativity level that has been brought by the CIA on the weekend's "package" is off the charts. Seriously, the stuff that we are gonna pull off is on par for a Student Ministry that is 10 times our size. To those who've been working so hard on "the package"...thanks, and way to go!

2) God has been answering our prayers regarding sign-ups. We have already set a new attendance record for sign-ups, and sign-ups are still rolling in...and what's more, over half of the sign-ups are students who have indicated that they have no church affiliation. Thank you, Jesus!

3) Harlend has something special planned for our students. I'm not going to say anymore about it because I don't wanna spoil the surprise. Let's just say that Saturday night is gonna be slammin'.

4) This year's prayer labyrinth makes the past labyrinths look "junior varsity". Students, come ready...Saturday afternoon is gonna sweep you away.

5) "Something is going to happen". If you're going to the retreat, you need to remember that phrase. Something is, indeed, going to happen.

6) The team of chaperones that is coming with me and OMR are AMAZING at what they do!

7) People are continuing to cover this weekend in prayer. And I invite you to do the same, if you don't mind. We want as many people praying over this retreat as possible. WE WANT EVERY STUDENT TO SEE FIRE FALL FROM HEAVEN!

Will you pray for us? Seriously, every day between now and Sunday, will you ask God for His provision, His favor, and His outpouring of love upon this retreat? We're going with great expectation of a true revival to begin here. Thanks for your consideration.

Grace and Peace

Just stumbled on your blog. I work with youth & a 20x class at our church. I know for certain that covering a weekend in prayer can make a huge impact. This happened during a church leadership retreat and we experienced revival for 3 months following.
