No, we don't have an attitude problem!  'Who Cares?' was the title of one of the most powerful messages we've ever heard by Adam McCain at Saturate '08.  He began by having a bunch of youth act out the 'Parable of the Good Samaritan' in a hilarious and unforgettable way.  He then showed us a brief video that completely broke us and drove us to our knees.  People all over the sanctuary began spontaneously crying, weeping and some even wailing.  Our hearts were exposed and forever changed.  Who cares?  WE care...and we are different animals too.

This year we had 12 teens and 3 adults and man was it awesome.  Elim is such a dynamic place where God shows up time and time again.  In one meeting for the leaders I felt as if my head was being unscrewed and I was being filled up to overflowing.  I became a puddle on the floor totally undone before the LORD.  This was truly an unforgettable time of great impartation. 

Thanks to all of you who made it possible for us to go by supporting Cross FIRE Youth Ministries.  And a special thanks to my friends, Pastor Chris & Kayren Lonneville, for letting us crash at the church and use their showers.
