Day 8 - Jr Hi MTO Update continued

We made it.

We rolled into West Campus just before 4:00pm today with vans full of people, memories, laughter and community.

My hope for this group is that they would continue to place Jesus at the center of all they do. In doing so, they will achieve the individual and collective potential they possess. God is on the move. Our challenge is to Rise Up and partner with what He is doing in and through us. I hope to witness an ongoing resurgence of passion and faith in action in this generation.

The wave is coming...the question is will we Rise Up to catch it?

Back to Jesus.
