Friendships were formed and strengthened... 
An afternoon of wild and crazy basketball!
The longest game of dodgeball EVER!
One last retreat group shot with the SENIORS!
Another great time together.
Great speaker...great music....great memories...
I think the theme of the weekend that the students took home with them is "being real" before God. Not just SAYING we believe, but ACTING like we believe. Not just following the rules because we're supposed to...but because we WANT to. We talked about the way we spend our time...the things that take our attention from God....
My prayer is that this weekend was the beginning of a NEW BEGINNING for some of the students who are struggling to understand what they believe in. The word the Lord set on my heart for the students during my quiet time was TRANSFORMATION.
"But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as from the Lord, the Spirit." IICorinthians 3:18

Hey kids: We just wanted you to know that we're "checking up" on you (and not just those of you who are going to Gabon). We want to let you know that we are "with you" as some of you GO and some of you SEND. Let us know if there is anything we can do for you as the time to head to Africa fast approaches. We love you, STEVE & JUDITH PHILLIPS (Meredith Brokopp's mom and dad and Tim Brokopp's favorite in-laws!)
