Thoughts on the Called Out Conference

Without fail the Called Out Conference remains at the top of the best youth events for Graceway Student Ministry! This year, we were able to take 6 students and 3 leaders to Baraboo, Wisconsin. The weekend was amazing with many challenging factors:

We were challenged through four breakout sessions. Nate Ray, a church planter in Minneapolis, challenged the students through the Word. The middle school and high school band of Trinity led us in music for a meaningful worship experience. We were introduced to John Klein and Trey Turner, two church planters in Southern Wisconsin, and they shared their hearts for church planting. We had an amazing time in prayer for the world, our country, our communities, church plants and our churches. The students also received a prayer card for a church planter in Minnesota and Wisconsin. Through the weekend they not only had the opportunity to pray for their specific church planter, but also to write their church planter an encouraging card!

We also had team building challenges and fun as well. We joined another youth group and were challenged by three different creative team building challenges. Yes, I have now officially have done the trust fall! And the teens didn't drop me. Many of the youth did the rock wall and conquered it; as well as many challenged Pastor Mike in basketball and were conquered...The teens had a blast and we are looking forward to next year!
