Weekend Review – B2S Retreat

What a great Weekend!  Yes we had some challenges but everything seemed to work out.  Ken Freeman and Nick Thurmond kicked us off in a great way.  Here are some Highlights:

• 6 student accepted Christ Friday Night
• Ken Freeman really did a great job connecting with all of us and challenging us to be evangelistic.
• Nick Thurmond led us in great worship.
• Host Homes – Awesome!  This weekend couldn’t have happened with out them
• Small Group Teams – Coaches and Small Groups leaders did an awesome job on not a lot of sleep!
• Great discussions in homes and then at the church
• The Game – fun, tiring, stressful, glad to see the 11th and 12th graders win finally!
• The Food – Lasagna for dinner Saturday and a full breakfast Sunday Morning, how can you go wrong with that.
• The first – Tyler leading worship for the first time with our group, Josh and Lisa both speaking for the first time to a large group!!  Major highlights for me
  • Don’t forget the Friendship Evangelism Challenge!!!
    • Reveal you are a Christian!
    • Extend and invitation to church or event!
    • Ask if you can share your story!
    • Communicate how/why you became a Christian!
    • Help them to know Christ!
• Lastly, seeing the student building full!

This truly was a great weekend but lets not let it be something we look back to as and event but as a start to a great journey of reaching our friends for Christ!
