Hello everyone, greetings once again from Wetaskiwin!!
It’s Josh here from Team 4 and it’s my pleasure to be writing this blog for you today!
This past week has been quite an active one, especially with our Lifeteen retreat this past weekend. Lots of planning and work went into it and God truly was able to use that and work through our team and the Core team.
So the retreat started on Friday night and that night was pretty much just a social for everyone to get comfortable. It seemed that everyone there was excited but, most of all, not really sure what the retreat would entail for them - it being their first Lifeteen retreat with us.

Saturday morning came around and my mind was mostly concerned with what would happen that night. We had planned a prayer session specifically praying for the Holy Spirit and when it came around I was still a little anxious as to how our teens would respond.
It was amazing…it blew me away how reverent and how deep into prayer and adoration of Christ they were. We had prayer stations set up and almost all of our teens went for prayers and were asking for specific things. Even when we went back into the hall to finish the night off with some down time, a few of our teens stayed back even longer to pray. Later we told them that they had been in adoration of Christ for an hour and a half and they couldn’t believe it.

They all agreed that it felt like it had passed in a simple instant.
It was very humbling to see that it wasn’t at all what we did; or what we were doing. God was the One and only One that was going to work in their hearts. It was also very moving to s
ee, visually, where our teens were at spiritually.
Well thats all for now, I'll leave you with some photos from the retreat, Suzi and Erica doing music, and Emma, Marc, Robbie, Marissa and Suzi doing a superhero talk show
