42 middle school kids came to Wyld Life Winter Blast along with 54 High School kids! Winter Blast this year consisted of two 20 hour lock-in at a church; one for middle school and one for high school. The high school group went to the pool, went to the gym, had a fancy pinterest style waffle bar breakfast and played some crazy games. The program team from Washington kept the kids laughing and our speaker Kelsey from Michigan did a great job to connect the material to the kids. Kids heard about Jesus and there were some really great conversations that happened in cabin time. Going deeper during cabin times was like pay day- It was such a treat to hear kids express their gratitude for Young Life and what a difference it has made in their faith. In the past years I have seen these guys grow up and they are becoming leaders. Several guys expressed a desire to help the people back home. They want to be a good example and be able to teach people about God. Guys want people at home know how much God values each person and that he has a purpose for their life. One young man said he wanted to show people that they had value so he could help the suicide problem back home. It was truly a gift to be able to be in the room.
