Dare 2 Share

March 19th-21st BTC (the high school group) took 6 students to Chicago for the Dare 2 Share Blaze Conference (dare2share.org). The weekend rocked our students' lives as they were challenged to not only think about what they believe, but how to better live out their faith amongst their friends. The students were challenged by dynamic, engaging speakers like Zane Black and Greg Stier to go into their schools and share "The Cause" for Christ with their friends. The students had an opportunity to do this while we were at the conference by calling/texting friends. We also rocked out with the band Starfield (http://www.starfieldonline.com/). One of our favorite parts was the two-part skit about heaven and hell...helping us realize that hell is not this fairyland place where people are simply separated from God for eternity, but where people literally are in excruciating torment and pain, while being separated from God for eternity. After the conference was over we spent the day Sunday downtown Chicago attending 2nd Presbyterian Church, eating at Gino's East Pizza, and shopping on Michigan Ave! Here are just a few pics of our fun-filled weekend!!!
