Pictures - Sunday night thru Thursday afternoon

Waiting for our first meet up with our base camp

Meeting our new "Mount Logan" friends

The first mainstage opened with an AMAZING on stage rain storm

The projected pictures onto the wall of water

The CHIC band leading worship Sunday Night, Erwin McManus

Erwin's "little girl," Moriah, with her band Blaring Rockets

Tim gets "profiled" at the introduction of our "others" day experience


Blue hair helps you jump better

What assumptions would you make about the people in the box? What judgements do you make about people every day?




Garion profiling the people in the boxes
We learn whether our judgements were correct

Melanie, Melinda, Emily, Lucas and Kali had a blast going rafting for an excursion
With our talented guide, Zach
David Crowder Band
The students who went on the trip to Thailand update us live via satellite about the ministries our Thursday offering will help
Shane Clairborne challenges us to love and serve others in radical ways
The ladies are ready for our "Unveiled" lesson on lust free living
One thing she teaches us is that if we put God into our lives first, the other things just fall into place around Him
Then we all did an experience dealing with our self. It looked at how the world and we see ourselves compared to how God sees us
We took labels with promises of who our identity in Christ is and placed them on pictures of us. Claiming the verses and God's promises for ourselves




Israel Houghton and New Breed lead us in worship
Steven Furtick tells the guys you can't take a girl on a "test drive." She isn't your car, that's CAR JACKING!
Our Mount Logan base camp group that includes 7 church groups from all over the country
What do you thank god for?


Praising the Lord at our "God experience" day

The students spread out to do a little reflection and time with the Lord
Melinda found a nice perch for her quiet time

Some girl silliness during free time

Yes, Sarah C is dying my hair

Let's make them look pretty!
Umm, I said "pretty."
Good thing we learned about our identity in Christ and that it doesn't matter how the world sees us!
We all served at "Feed My Starving Children" for a couple hours, packaging meals for those at risk of starvation
Here they model some "hair net sass"
That is Flyleaf warming up on the stage right by us

Stephanie, Tim, Emily, Garion, Patrick, Sarah D, and Melanie placed cooking instruction labels on the bags before they were filled
Kali, Melinda, Sarah C, and Lucas had a smooth system going to fill those bags with chicken flavoring, dried veggies, soy and rice
Mike took full boxes of bags and taped them up to be shipped
In just four afternoons 1,900 CHIC-goers worked together to fill 1,980 boxes of food. Those boxes held 427,680 meals, enough to feed 1,171 children one meal a day for an entire year.Flyleaf tried to blast the walls down
The Jesus Painter assisted in our Wednesday night worship
Many in our group are feeling the affects of not enough sleep, even during amazing worship

Wednesday night featured an invitation to accept the Lord for the first time and HUNDREDS of students made that committment! It was amazing to see all the work the Lord is doing in the hearts and minds of our students. We are all being Undone.

Judy Howard Peterson made the invitation, encouraging us to be real with each other and not hide behind masks or make-up
We took communion and worshipped more after some youth group time

Today we focused on the neads of the World. Especially looking at the systems that make slavery and human trifficking a reality still today
Over 2,800 people wrote letters to senators or parliment encouraging them to raise awareness and end slavery
While some students went on excursions and some hung out with new friends from other places Lucas, Melinda, Kali, Patrick and Melanie enjoyed lunch together

We leave tomorrow! It's gone so fast! We'll try to update more and get the rest of the students to type a blog before we get home. Pray for our travel and be ready to be impressed by the undone work of God in these students!
