CIY "Move" Day 1: Pumped!

We made it!! No bumps, bruises, backroads or breakdowns. Because of some last minute issues, our numbers are now 12 boys, 13 girls, 6 adults, and a baby (haidyn sears). Thank you so much for your prayers for safe travel and everything-God has been so good to us! We arrived in Carbondale at about 4pm, ate dinner, and got situated in our rooms. The evening session was outstanding, and Matt Bayless (our worship leader for the week) rocked the house! The theme of the conference this week is called "Move", and each day we will be focusing on a specific topic. This evening was one simple, yet super-important truth: Jesus is the ONLY way that we can connect with/move toward God. Everyone in our group is excited to see how God is going to move this week, and we are expecting nothing less than the miraculous. Please pray that both the adults and the students will open their hearts and their minds to whatever it is that God wants to show us. Ok, as you can see from the time on this post...it's definitely bed time! I'll update you later, as I expect God to continue to MOVE.

Hey Shane,

Deb and I got back from a conference that rocked our boat!! I am so excited about what God wants to do with our young people. I'm sure He will reveal things to you this week that will give you direction to help them get moving towards His heart.

See you next week.

Blessings,
Daryl

I thank God for the sponsors that have made a decision to devote a small portion of their life to encourage our youth to follow/ move in a Godly way this week. Thank you for your committment to our teenagers! We're praying and thanking God for you. Marla
