Youth Week 2009 was the best one yet!! We had great participation from our students and wonderful times of fellowship and worship. Christian George, author of Godology and Sex, Sushi, and Salvation came and shared his life with us for four days. Christian and I went to the same seminary but didn't really connect there. I read his books earlier this year and through Facebook contacted him about coming to our church to speak to our students. The greatest thing about Christian is that he didn't just show up and speak, then leave. He literally came and hung out with our students at a BBQ at my house, went to Six Flags with us, and genuinely got to know our students. It was a great time for our students to be challenged to stop carrying a "cross of Styrofoam" and pick up the true cross of Christ, radical discipleship and a raw faith to follow God wherever he leads them. Of course we had a blast at the Redneck Olympics and Six Flags but the highlight was the way God worked and spoke in the lives of our teenagers. Even two weeks after youth week I am hearing from students about what God is doing in their lives as a result of that week...God is so good isn't He!
