Dear Leaders and Students,

This past weekend in Anaheim we encountered God in an incredible way.  The memory that still penetrates my heart was on Friday night during the drama-the graveyard scene.  As the characters played by (I remember their real-life names--sorry!) Curran and Abigail were serenaded by the cloud of witnesses "He loves us, O How He Loves Us" I was brought to tears.  It was like God's waterfall of love was washing my soul.  I just wish we could have sang with the cloud of witnesses for 10 minutes straight!

I hope as your youth groups encountered God that you choose to continue to walk closely with God and strive to grow in Him.  He wants to draw you near-respond!  If you get down let Him pick you back up again.  As followers of Christ we know that this life will be hard-suffering and persecution will come.  BUT we are to move from victory to victory, strength to strength, glory to glory.

With a refreshed heart and new-found energy and fervor to pursue God, reach out and change the world.  Be the love-encounter to others.

Don't wait around for another event, retreat or ATF next year.  Seek God with all of your strength, and make a plan to grow in Him and to impact others.

Sincerely,

Todd Lee Mayfield

Regional Manager

Make sure to read this CNN article about this alarming anti-God campaign in the NYC metro.

People are literally overtly marketing against God in NY subways!  Can something be done locally about this?  Are advertising firms really ok with taking their money?
