video enclosure: Camp INCORRUPTIBLE: Day 4

Of note: there is a mandatory camper’s meeting on Wednesday night, June 17th at 6:00 pm.  Parents, students, and leaders are all strongly encouraged to attend.

I want to encourage you to make this a priority.  Don’t let money, a summer job, or anything else keep you away.  We’ve seen so many students ministered to in such deep and rich ways through the camp experience.  Don’t miss out!  Check out these stats from last year’s camp; were you one of these numbers?

• 2 salvations,
• 5 students healed,
• 7 students baptized in the Holy Spirit,
• 21 students that received God’s direction for their lives, and
• 15 students that received a call to ministry!

Take a stroll down memory lane with us as we relive the camp “videos of the day” from last year’s EPIC camp…

And the long, unedited version of testimonies from last year’s camp on day 4…

Newbies’ Night is a free annual student event where Elevate Student Ministries celebrates the beginning of summer and new students graduating into the youth ministry program.

The event begins at the Black Hill’s Maze (6400 S Highway 16) at 5:00 pm. We’ll provide rides back to Destiny and dinner for the students.

The Colourful concert will start @ 7:00 pm at Destiny and is open to the public. There will be a free-will donation taken.  Listen to mp3 samples at The Colourful’s official MySpace.

NOTE: The Maze and dinner is for Elevate students and guests only.  The concert is open to all.

All students attending the event will need current Medical / Liability Release Forms on file, including guests.

WEATHER UPDATE: If you are wondering about the weather, there is currently a predicted 40 percent chance of rain and an estimated temperature of around 52 degrees.  We still plan on going ahead with The Maze challenge so please dress appropriately.  Wear warm and waterproof / repellent clothing!

Also, watch the two student human videos in their entirety on Blip.tv: “Opposite Way” and “Everything I Do (I Do It for You)”

If you have been around church long enough you probably have heard someone say, “We are called to be different from the world,” or “If we don’t tell people about Christ, how will they ever know we are different?” That can be a big concept to grasp. Sure, we are supposed to be different, but what does being different mean? What does it look like? And if we are supposed to be different, how do we live in the world? Do we have limitations and standards, or are we given free reign?

Our next three-week talk series @ Elevate Student Ministries will help us understand what it means to be different as a believer in Christ. Week one, we’ll unpack why we are different because of Christ. Week two, we’ll help each other understand what it means to be salt and light, and help identify how you can walk the fine line between living in the world and not being of the world. We three, we’ll challenge students to examine their lives to ensure that their words and actions are equal – in other words, consistency and integrity.

This is what it will look like:
• Week 1: Different from the World (Colossians 2:20-23)
• Week 2: More than Words (Matthew 5:13-16)
• Week 3: Equal Words, Equal Action (Matthew 7:21-23)

Hope you can come and join us!
