Blast 2008

Over the past several weeks, we have been preparing for one of the most incredible weekends ever. Exactly one week from tomorrow, we will be leaving to take over 650 junior high and senior high students up to the Kalahari resort in the Wisconsin Dells. We will fill the weekend with some amazing messages, great small groups, time enjoying the water part, and most importantly some time where students can encounter a relationship with Christ. The theme for this years conference is "Pulse." What does our heartbeat for? What do we care about? We understand that the world in which we live really only cares about itself. But the heart of God beats for the needs of others. God has always had a heart for the poor, forgotten, and even marginalized people of this world. The question is, will our heart look more like the world's or will we learn to align our hearts with the PULSE of God. Please be praying for the students that we take on this incredible weekend, the amazing leaders that are coming with us, and the details that need to take place to make this weekend happen.
