Momentum 2010

By Pam Work

We have a saying, “A picture is worth a thousand words”. I think these pictures will generate more than a thousand words! Our Lighthouse Youth Group had a powerful week together with other youth groups from across the country as we gathered to worship God, pray for each other and listened to great speakers who spoke from the Bible to teach us valuable lessons from God. This event took place at Cedarville University in Ohio and there was as estimated 1,600 teens and adults gathered there.

The focus was “pursuit”…to pursue after God…to be a God chaser. Everyone was given the opportunity to look at themselves as either someone who wanted to be a servant for our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, or someone who wanted to remain in their present state of heart. Teens and adults had opportunities to learn about ways to serve and then to actually serve the community around the university campus.

 

Our group chose to volunteer our time to work with an organization called Feed My Starving Children. We packed food to send to the orphaned children in Haiti. We packed enough nutrition to feed approximately 300 plus children one meal a day for an entire year!

As in the past years, we all came back to Frederick exhausted, re-focused, and energized to serve. God was present; the Holy Spirit was present and I believe not one person left Momentum 2010 unchanged.

Thank you to the GCC family for your continued support and love that you shower on the teens of our Lighthouse Youth Ministry.
