We Survived WCC Survivor Youth Trip!
Our second year of Survivor (church style) was another success! We had the opportunity to join the youth again this year. Like last year Jeremy was on the work crew. He helped the other adult volunteers build the challenges. (Evidently my quiet husband was also providing laughs through his witty remarks.) Greyson and Avery were participants. And I was able to be a tribal leader again! I thoroughly enjoy this trip!! We sleep on the ground with only a tarp over our heads, eat little food (unless we win a challenge and get a food reward), and compete in some awesome challenges. These conditions can really stretch a person. The toughest part for the teenagers was most likely being disconnected from their cell phones & computers. :) This disconnection would allow them to focus on the most important factor to this weekend: God's Word. We had morning & afternoon devotions and nightly tribal counsels. The theme was Heroes vs. Villains. Our study of some of the heroes and villains of the Bible brought us to an important question. Which will we be? It is so easy to be the villain...going along with the world. But it is harder to be a hero and step out even when no one will follow. I pray the 44 teenagers that attended will choose to be heroes for God!! I pray the Perry Gang will be heroes for God.
