When IMPACT finished on Friday Night, it was as though all the youth suddenly found themselves at the finish line of a marathon - exhausted, out of breath, somber, excited and victorious. The week finished with a grand finale of worship, drama, a hard-hitting lesson from Chris Seidman, and confession.
It is difficult to assess the value of IMPACT. Obviously something has happened within each of our students... but the strength of conviction, the movement of the Spirit within, the resolve to better themselves and the world they live in - these are results that time alone will reveal.
As we prepare for the return trip home, we reflect on the experience given to us. Mr. Seidman stated a truth that continues to bounce around in our heads:
"God is doing something IN you...
to reveal Himself THROUGH you...
to affect the world AROUND you."
May God use our students to His glory!
