The Youth at Deep Freeze

Adam and the youth went on their annual winter retreat at Camp Berea this past January. Here's what he has to say what went on...

"The student ministry (Impact) got back from there annual winter retreat a couple weeks ago, Deep Freeze at Camp Berea in Hebron, NH. While the crowd was a little smaller this year we still all had a great time. We got off to a great start because this year we made it up there Friday night. Last year if you remember we got a random snow storm in March that kept us in Andover on Friday. So this year we got to experience all three days which was very exciting. We were also blessed with great weather for our outdoor activities and games; no negative wind chills this year. Praise God!! The most popular activity for the retreat this year was paintball, everyone played and enjoyed running around the woods trying not to get hit. We also had a good time playing in a massive dodge ball tournament; our team name was the Lumber Jacks. But more importantly we had a very dynamic speaker this year and a very good worship band. The theme for the weekend was Legacy: How do you want to be remembered? The students were challenged to live their lives in a way that they would be known as God followers. We had a few students who really celebrated their commitment to Christ, and another who committed his life to following Christ, not just being a nominal Christian. God did an amazing work in the student’s life. Jessica and I were so blessed to see God working on their hearts throughout the weekend. We had many good one on one conversations with each student to help them process how God was moving in their hearts."
