Weekend of Champions

Well we are back and fully recovered from our middle school retreat Weekend of Champions in Waxachachie at the Lakeview Conference Center. It was a great weekend, with an amazing impact! Everyone that was there had a chance to experience just how amazing God is. We had 281 first time commitments to Christ, 36 Recommitments to Christ and 454 students signed the One Way 2 Play Pledge.

We had 68 Coaches who had a chance to enjoy a weekend of fellowship and fun, and enjoy a break from their very hectic day to day activities. They did everything from play paintball to "hit" the course on the Wii golf!

With 522 students, it was a very active weekend. The students enjoyed 4 amazing "Quarters" with Destination Known and Oscar Roan, where each student was able to hear the gospel and share with their piers the love of Christ. They also had some great competition times, even in the 40 degree weather!!

Our 125 huddle leaders really did an amazing job sharing with the students and bringing their huddles together for the purpose of Christ and getting to know Him better.

It was truly an unforgettable weekend for those who attended, here is some amazing feedback from the weekend:

"Thank you, everything & everyone was awesome. When I first got on the bus to come here I was regretting (it), like why did I do thus but now I know why I came. I cam to find God, and now I have, thanks to you. "
Love,
Kaitlyn W.

"I loved being close to God. I want to come back as long as I can. This always helps me keep on the right path and not go down where others are just going. All of the stories were encouraging. If I needed help there was people there for me."
