Escape ’08 Day 1
Posted on 22. Jul, 2008 by frank in Uncategorized
Escape has gotten off to a great start! As we were driving to the retreat center, Ben and I couldn’t help but notice we were beginning to leave civilization as we were passing by Amish buggys. We had more students show up then expected which is wonderful, not only did we fill our entire bus but we ended up needing to take 3 additional car loads of students to accommodate the need.
As we arrived at Black Rock Retreat I couldn’t help but notice the beauty 
of God’s creation. I love paying nature a visit from time to time, but I’m not much of outdoors-man, so I don’t get out in the woods much. When I do finally get away from the hustle of where we live and work it is great to experience the peace that comes with going on retreats like this. However, that all changes when you bring High School students with you, but we love em anyway!!!

Jeffery Dean did a great job of starting us off the first night by asking our students to reflect on why they are here. After our small group time last night – I think they get it. They had their Bibles out and took notes and one of my interns (Adam) told me he thought some of the teens were having some life changing moments. I look forward to seeing what God does next!
