OBC High School Retreat

One great benefit of being active in ministry is the opportunity to serve the church. We not only are employing our gifts that glorify our common Lord and Savior, but also we are having fun doing it. This years high school retreat was in a small farm town outside of Aurora, Nebraska. The camp was outfitted to look like an old west town, but with the conveniences of the 21st century. Unfortunately the ticks didn’t get the message that we were showing up; so I bathed in scented outdoor insect repellent.

Many times you find youth ministries so geared on “events,” that the teaching gets lost in the excitement of the game itineraries. How refreshing it is to be able to go to an event that centers it purpose on teaching God’s word. This year the focus was on fighting spiritual battles, like the lusts of the flesh; to include sexual behavior, gluttony, and attitude. All which traget your soul as written in 2 Peter 2:11.

I also had the opportunity to get to know better the leaders of the Main Campus of Omaha Bible Church.
