Hey! Did we have a great weekend at Converge 2009. Students from as far away as Lac du Bonnet, Manitoba converged on our college for a time of worship, ministry and fellowship. We packed out the Residence and the campus was full of excitement.
Our guest speaker, James Schwab (class of ’98) touched our hearts as he spoke about timely issues for teens today. He spoke on:
PAIN – He encouraged us to leave our pain with God.
This message hit a resonant chord for many of us. James opened up the whole can of worms relating to youth and self injury (SI). He talked about cutting and suicide, eating disorders and other harmful activities. If you want to hear this message you can download an audio podcast from http://www.horizon.edu/site/media/podcasts.shtml or watch the video on youtube.
I encourage you to also download podcasts of his other two messages:
LIFESTYLE– He asked “does our life point to God?”
FORGIVENESS – Yes, that’s a tough one! He shared the importance of forgiving our enemies.
Converge was AWESOME!!!!
