A Big Prayer for the Team

We had our final training for the team last Sunday. And after we beat our heads on details and sent the parents home, we took a good chunk of time to pray about our upcoming experience at CHIC.

And the question we prayed was this: "What do you want from Jesus at CHIC?"




When we came back together to talk through our prayer time, I started to notice a trend. There were lots of the prayers I expected--safety, new friends, for the best, mind-blowingly amazing experience ever. But the first person also said, I don't want this experience of being close to Jesus and growing in my faith to end when CHIC ends.

As we worked our way around the circle, it became very obvious that this wasn't an isolated feeling. My very non-scientific estimate is that over a quarter of our CHIC students said the same thing.

"I want to grow in my faith. And I don't want that commitment and progress to end when we return and the conference buzz fades. I want to love Jesus with my whole life."

I am humbled and really excited by this. Our students are already thinking beyond CHIC.

Will you pray with us that God does powerful work to change our students for this week at CHC, for their remaining high school careers, and into eternity?
