I asked the youth 'What did you learn about standing out as a disciple of Christ? What are the key ingredients of your faith'? I challenged them to read a chapter in James each night because that was the biblical base of our weekend sessions. Here are some of the responses thus far:
When I was reading James 1 I found a great verse! James 1:13 "God cannot be tempted by evil nor does he tempt anyone; but each one is tempted when, by his own evil desire he is dragged away and enticed. Gray Heath
My favorite part in James was when it talked about the poverty and riches. My favorite part in James 2 was verse 8 'you shall love your neighbor as yourself'. = BE HAPPY Chelsea Vale
I plan to tell people about our trip & I've written a prayer in my journal each night so far. I love that idea so much ... it's private but its a way to let my feelings out. I have told people about it too & they said they might start trying that. Madison Dellinger
Ya! I plan to stand out in a crowd by not going along with people that talk about others and just walk away. I hope that makes me stand out in a way that people know that I am a follower of only Christ. Holly McIntosh
Ava Smith went to Wendy's on the way home. When a lady asked about her hoodie, she used it as an opportunity to witness to her faith. She proceeded to share what Valle Crucis meant to her. The lady was so impressed she bought Ava's lunch.
