Truth and Dare is the theme of this years conference. We have over 500 middle school students and their youth leaders attending. Our late night options are in progress and we just finished our first large group session of the weekend. The speaker, Jeff Dean, challenged us to understand that we all make choices every day. Many of those choices have minimal consequences while others are very significant to our future. The standard we base our decisions on is key to making the best choices. For us as Christians that standard is the Bible and Jesus is our truth.
Many students responded to God by asking Him into their lives for the first time and many many more asked Jesus to help them get rid of the junk in their lives that keeps them away from choosing/living the life that Jesus has for them.
