Sunday @ Wintertainment

Please continue to keep us in your prayers as we have reached the halfway point of our trip. Students could be found (yesterday & today) skiing, snowboarding, tubing, cross country skiing, ice skating, & playing games in the newly renovated neale lodge! I'll post some pics of the beautifully updated lodge tonight. 

Our speaker, Norm Hubbard, continues to challenge us with evidences of faith in Jesus from 1 John. Norm has told us, "these exams are not pass or fail in the sense that I am not saved if I do not show these evidences in my life, but rather a person who has truly been brought by God the Father to salvation should exude these characteristics." He has described these evidences as both sides of a coin. It would not be natural for someone to claim a quarter as only the "head" side or the "tails" side. Rather, a quarter has both tails and heads together. Our faith in Jesus is similar. Faith in Christ and obedience to Him should go hand in hand and not be separate or optional. It has been thought provoking and challenging for us all. 

Temperatures are scheduled to dip into the negative degrees tonight and into Monday morning. Please pray for the attitudes of the students as we plan and adjust the schedule for their safety.
