CCF Youth trip to Tacoma

Last summer we took seven young people from ChristChurch to Tacoma, Washington State, U.S.A. for the Jesus Ministry Conference. I had the privilege of going as 'the female youth leader'!

The whole youth group fundraised together for the trip, with the aim being that it was an investment for all the young people - those who went would bring back what they learnt - sharing with and leading the group to walk through everything too.

It was an amazing time of teaching, outreach, prayer ministry and being inspired to live radically for the Lord - a lifestyle of repentance, walking out of strongholds and sin patterns that hold us back from living as the person God created us to be and in all He has for us...

We were really blessed in being given a great big house to stay in by one of the church families, complete with awesome view across the water, swimming pool, hot tub and lots of grounds for footie etc. We needed to hire two cars to transport everyone, but when we arrived to pick them up, one had been upgraded to an SUV, which unfortunately I had to drive ;)

It was never clear to me before, the deal with why some people get excited about driving certain kinds of car... I now understand fully!
