Opportunity

I love working in the Youth Group at Church. I have 2 reasons. The less important of the two is my own selfish reasons. Youth group helps me stay active and young. The more important reason is to be used by God in ways I never thought possible and to be possibly the only positive influence in these students lives. God is truly remarkable in how he can use what we think is the littlest most insignificant thing we have to offer to change or reach someone. Our youth group is so blessed that we have a church that fully supports it in anything and everything we do. One thing we have the ability to do is take a ski trip every year. It is pretty cool because we get to go to some pretty cool places. This year we are going to Snow Basin. See picture below of a view from the top. This trip allows kids in the youth group to invite any and all of their friends to join us. This is huge because it gives the adults and church a way to bridge the gap between the world and what they think of church. Who thought Christians could have fun. Well news flash for you we do have a blast. It is an amazing life as you live for the Lord. I am so excited about this trip. Not only because we get to do some amazing skiing but we are going to have an opportunity to meet kids we have never met and be able to show them the love that Jesus has for them. Please be praying for us. First for a safe trip, second that those God desires to be there will be, and finally that they will see Jesus through the friend that brought them and everyone else they meet.
