During the weekend of Feb. 13, 17 of us headed on a Road Trip! Our destination was YouthQuake at Briercrest College and Seminary in Caronport, SK (an 8-hour drive).
We arrived to find the campus bustling with youth and high-energy activities. Activities included skating, horseback riding, inflatables, dance routines, concerts and powerful messages.
With a conference theme of “Broken & Hopeful” we were challenged to face our brokenness head-on and seek hope in the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Seminars dealt with all kinds of issues; cutting and self-harm, addictions, depression, sexual confusion, ministry challenges, etc. and we were encouraged to go deep in our faith and reach out to the world around us.
One of our group was shocked to hear that her name had been drawn to win a bike from Camp Qwanoes! What a nice surprise!
The weekend was great for community (especially those hours in the vans!) and provided new perspective on life and faith. One of our group posted “Regrets? Not one! I’d do it again this weekend if I could. Now the wait is on for YQ16!”
Thanks to everyone who helped make our participation in this weekend possible!
