TESTIMONIES

After reading all the comments on the board, I wanted to say that as a "MOM", I am so proud of all the teenagers I encountered at the Edison, NJ CHWC. Your enthusiasm, youth, spirit and love of Christ was truly an inspiration to me. To see teens make such remarkable friendships while doing the work of the Lord makes me realize how lucky I am to be involved with our youth. I hope all your parents can see you the way I did and be as proud of you and love you the way God loved his Son. None of us is perfect, but the lights that shone thru all of you that week were nothing short of brilliant! I thank my youth group for allowing me to be a part of their lives that I will remember forever and for team #8, thank you for a great week of spirit, laughter and hard work. Christian - you are an incredibly talented guy and I know you will go far! Hope to see you all again at a future CHWC. Kudos to the staff - what a great job you did on little sleep. I guess that's one of the perks of being young! I admire you all so much and appreciate all your hard work (and fun)! All of you opened up your hearts and souls to us and made us realize how vulnerable we all are but that should not keep us from doing the work of the Lord.

God bless you and keep you in his care!

Hey! I went to Nashville this summer and had the best time EVER! I still wish I could go back. I made so many friends and I miss them so much. If you have never gone before then you should go to CHWC. You will learn so much about yourself, your faith, and others too. Plus, you will get to help people. And don't be freaked if you don't know anyone or anything. When I went I was the only one from Mattoon but I knew a few people from other towns. A few weeks before we went I didn't want to go. I almost told my parents to get their money back cuz I didn't want to go. But I decided to stick it out and I am so happy that I did. I am definitely going back to CHWC next summer! I think we are going to Milwaukee. Feel free to email me if you have any ?'s or comments. I would love to hear them.

God Bless,
Megan
