City Wide Youth Ralley @ People's Church

20
Nov
      Its been a little over a month but here are some highlights from the City Wide Youth Ralley.  Hosted by the People's Church here in Edmonton, the night put on in support of the "Life" campaign.  Hundreds of youth spent the night without water, symbolically in support those who go without water each and every day.  The event was organized by Pastor Travis of North Pointe church. Pastor Paul Fraser spoke while Activate led in worship.  As with any youth event, there was lots of fun and games but students still received a challenging message.   Later that night youth were given a chance to take part in the campaign by raising money to build wells in numerous countries in Africa.  Along with other events and youth groups that weekend, Alberta raised $21000 to support the cause.  And praise God for that!!  It was one awesome night.  We're looking forward to the next one...

Camrose - "In-tents Youth Retreat"

20
Nov

A few weekends ago we headed to the little town of Camrose, Alberta. Students had classes off on Thursday & Friday this past week so Calvary Pentecostal Church youth group put on the "In-tents Youth Retreat". We arrived on Thursday to approximately 30 youth who were literally prepared to stay the night at the church in tents. On Friday night Camrose hosted a youth ralley. A little over 100 youth showed up from Chauvin and Wainwright. At each gathering there was worship, games and then Keith Waara, from Tehillah Monday, spoke the Word in an inspiring manner.

We weren't in town long but it did not take long for us to find out that these youth like to have fun. Whether it was in the service, during games or late night movies, shaving cream and water balloons (interesting combination or what?)... this bunch was energetic. They were great hosts and awesome participants in God's presence.
