Fun Weekend

Last weekend was a busy and a fun one. In Perrusburg most of our fusion volunteers are high school students. They are awesome high school students who volunteer to help show middle school students Jesus, but most of those high school students were on their winter retreat last weekend. As well as the other student ministry interns and staff members. they left me behind to run Fusion for the weekend, and we had a fun time talking about being connected to Jesus, like branches are connected to a vine. This is a picture from the 10:45 service, it was pretty full. Some guy who was teaching went too long so we didn't get to play a game during this service (oops). but we did get to watch a couple funny videos so i guess that makes it worth it. We had some volunteers step up huge this weekend, and some had a chance to step up into bigger roles than they normally do. It was awesome to see some leaders step up!

Fusion Weekend

Hey everybody! We had another great weekend at Fusion. Being in Perrysburg is starting to feel normal. It was strange at first, and I miss all my Toledo cromies. But Perrysurg Fusion has been lots of fun. Lots of new students to meet, and hopefully point towards Jesus. I taught 4 of our 5 Fusion services over the weekend. We talked about how many people have been decieved into thinking they can earn their salvation. When in reality the only way to be saved is faith in Jesus. This was also camp weekend, our first camp weekend where we really focused on promoting Fusion Camp. We take over Camp Michindoh for a week in July, and this weekend we handed out information to all of our students, as well as all the fifth grade students.

All Nighter

Wow. That was the only word we could use to describe what happened friday night. We planned an all campus Fusion Overnighter at the Perrysburg YMCA. We challenged the students that if they could get 300 students there we would give away a free trip to camp. 300 was the number the Y told us they could fit in the building. We ended up having 501 students show up to the Perrysurg YMCA, wow. We had to cap it at 441 sadly, and a couple students did not get in. they will all get into our next event for free, and we are doing a prize drawing for all of them. We could not believe how many students came out. We were a little overwhelmed, but amazed at our students. We had a whole bunch of students who had never been to Fusion or CedarCreek before. We were amazed that our Fusion students brought so many friends, which is so cool. God can and God will use us when we are willing, and our students are willing. We are so proud of them.

Snowmageddon

Keshia and I survived the storm of the century, or snowmageddon. ha. Thankfully it looked like we did not get as much as they predicted (big surprise). Keshia did not have to work wednesday and i had to work at starbucks wednesday so we went up and stayed with her parents tuesday night. so the storm didn't hold us down much.
thursday night was my last night with my Toledo students before moving to Perrysburg. They surprised me with a small "going away but not really" party. we had some cake and played some games. i will miss those students, but the nice part is i will still them occasionally. I am  not totally cut off from them. and i get a whole new group of fusionites to get to know!
