What an awesome weekend we had at Camp Indi Co-So!!! We left Friday afternoon for Springville, IN with 14 youth members and leaders. It only took 2 hours to get there and when we arrived the group from Jasper was already there. We hung out with them and set up band equipment and unloaded the things we needed for the weekend. We had a service Friday night and then free time the rest of the evening. We played board games and hung out talking until the wee hours of the morning! Saturday we woke up and had breakfast and then Nikki taught during the Breakout Session. Then we had lunch and then played football in the "butt chillin" cold! The service Saturday evening was awesome, the kids were really receptive to the Holy Spirit! Then we had a Battle of the Sexes contest, cake decorating! One of the guys team won!!!! From then on, we had free time and hung out playing board games and talking into the late morning! Sunday was our last day there and we ended the retreat with another service then headed home. We stopped off at Pizza Hut in Bedford for lunch. Then.....the most amazing thing happened. Our new youth band, Fusion Youth band led praise and worship for the Sunday evening service at church. The kids came back from the retreat expecting God to continue His work! The spirit fell on our church and 5 of our kids gave their hearts to the Lord and we had one baptism of the Holy Spirit! Praise God for His faithfulness and for the kids' hearts being open to Him! I pray now that this Fire continues in our kids! Winter Retreat '09 Bonded by Fire was an awesome experience!!!!
