Today, 1500 Momentum students descended on the city of Dayton to serve people and share the love of Jesus in practical ways. But before that, a large group of our students joined for an early morning worship session (6:30 am to be exact)!
Our group, along with 200 others, stayed on campus. For two hours, we helped to put together over 106,000 meals that will go to hungry children in 3rd world countries! That would feed 293 children for an entire year!
This evening's session was a great conclusion to our week with a look back on what we've experiences, a look forward to how to take it home, stories of how God worked through us in Dayton, and a great time of worship. We concluded the conference with time together as a youth group and are now packing up so we can be up and ready to go in the morning.
Our students will be pulling out at 8 am - with an estimated arrival time of 4:30 in Lititz. I will not be with them, as I will be flying out to adult conference in Tampa before they leave...actually, before they wake up!
Thank you for investing in your students - and in this week. I have heard several experienced Momentum attenders say that this has been, by far, the best Momentum ever. I would definitely agree that it is up there:
- 60 students from Lititz CHOSE to go share their faith in Dayton
- Over $94,000 was raised to feed the hungry and build two orphanages in 3rd world countries
- Over 106,000 meals were prepared for starving children
- 1500 people blitzed the city of Dayton today to spread the love of Jesus to all they came in contact with
- God helped our students develop a heart for the poor, the lost and the lonely
- Our students made many commitments to Christ - many very practical steps that can be implemented immediately upon arrival home
- The list goes on...
THANK YOU also, to the amazing adults who joined me this week. Their impact was incredible, and their sacrifice was SO appreciated! These are amazing adults who have the biggest hearts in the world - and who give sacrificially to serve your families and your teens! Thank you Mark & Lori, Korina, Nick and Sherrie! You are awesome!!!
Please be sure to plan on joining us on Sunday, August 3rd for our youth-led communion where many stories of God's work will be shared from individual students!
