11 Nov Five Youth Find Christ at UB Weekend Retreat

Kendal Sheen, Youth and Music Pastor, Kilpatrick UB (Woodland, Mich.)

I am a new youth and music pastor with the Kilpatrick United Brethren church. I wanted to spend some time with the teens to get to know them better and determine where they stood in their relationship with Christ, so I planned a weekend retreat at Camp Michawana in Hastings, Mich.

I was looking to bring in a speaker from Huntington University to make a connection with the youth and the University. I contacted Cathy Reich, the Administrative Assistant with Healthy Ministry Resources, but we couldn’t find someone to come speak with the youth.

Now that the weekend is over, I realize that God was moving his plan forward, not mine.

I spoke this past weekend to the group, which I believe is what God wanted from the start. He opened their hearts and minds during the weekend.

Five youth accepted Jesus Christ into their hearts and lives. Praise the Lord!
