Youth News
from Justin . . .

We have just had four of our
high school students complete Youth in Leadership Training at Tall Timber
Ranch. Tall Timber has high school students from all over the state apply to
attend this each summer, and it is amazing that we had four students from our
congregation accepted this year. YILT is best summed up as intensive 2 week
training in all manner of leadership. They experience everything from late
night worship, to high elements initiatives, and even a solo night fast on a
mountain, where it is just them and the Lord. In other Tall Timber news, keep
me in your prayers this week. By the time you are reading this, I will be the
main speaker at Tall Timber. I take the challenge of presenting God’s Word to
young people very seriously and I am able in accomplish this in fun, interactive
ways. I am excited to let you know how the week goes.

The High School Youth Group
has just recently returned from our mission trip to Campbell Farm and what an
amazing time we had. We were able to work in the local Northwest Harvest Food
Bank packing food to be delivered all over the state. We also spent a couple of
days at the local community center reading with the kids in the morning and
swimming and playing games with them in the afternoon. We also spent a day
working at the Union Gospel Mission in Yakima; and a day doing chores on the
farm. At night we were able to meet a lady who has been a pastor of a Native
American church on the reservation for many years. She shared many touching
stories about her experiences. We also had a night where all of the local kids
were invited to the farm for a picnic and we were able to share bible stories,
do face painting, drama, arts & crafts, and play games. The amazing thing is
that yes, we were able to fit all of this into one week. The Lord was
definitely at work as we used our hands and opened our hearts. I am excited for
you to have the opportunity to hear the experiences of the students who so
freely served on this trip. Thanks so much for the support we received from the
congregation. We worked hard, we made a difference, and we made Jesus smile. |
