Our Youth Department will be loading up the buses tonight and heading to the First Baptist Church Youth Conference in Hammond, Indiana.
Hyles-Anderson College always puts on a first-class Fireworks display on Thursday night by the lake, and our own teens are singing in the music competition. They have worked long and hard on a song called “I am Saved”, and Becky Kaighen is our motivated pianist/director. The 14 hour trip will take us through the night.
There are always hundreds of youth groups present from all over the nation. The preaching is teen-oriented, and super-powerful. The speakers all have a real strong appeal for the young people to serve the Lord and to “come clean for Jesus”.
This is not our first trip to this conference. Over the last 25 years we have attended often. Though a grueling drive, what I feel we get is worth far more than all the inconvenience of the traveling. Besides, the kids don’t mind the hours in the buses. To them, it is an adventure.
My wife will be our female adult chaperone. Though we are not as young as we used to be, still we love being with the kids. We don’t have a “youth pastor”, but we do had a “Youthful Pastor”. Hay hay!
AS far as the singing competition goes, the only thing we would gain by winning first place would be bragging rights. However, I am hoping that the kids know that we do all that we do for the honor and glory of the Lord Jesus Christ.
I will try to keep the Blog updated by my Twitter account. It posts instantly on the sidebar to the right.
You know, when I was a teen, I didn’t get to take any cool trips like this. Oh well. Glory to God.
