God is looking for teenagers who are serious about Him. Who won't be afraid to pursue Him with all they've got. he has great plans for you.
Next week is our Revolution Night. It's gonna be Revolutionizing lol. No seriously invite a friend. It will be great!

What's up?!
What's up everybody?!
Tonight is going to be a great night! We'll be wrapping up The Great Gamble and taking time to pray for our friends, Revolution Night, and the Election. Come ready to experience God!
I'm working on adding some new media stuff. I'm also changing the playlist and the way it works. The playlist which is being reworked will now have new music on it from new artists and/or new albums. To take the place of the hundred songs I had on there, I've added Hope In Anguish Radio. It is an online streaming Christian Radio Station with all the best music. You'll like it.

Tomorrow Night
Hey Everybody! Just wanted to let you all know I'm thinking about you and keep you in my prayers. God has amazing plans for you. This is something we must never forget. The moment we do is when our hope begins to fade.
Tomorrow Night is going to be great. We are going to talk about Betting it All - Following God for the long hall. Following God isn't easy and times get tough. Sometimes so tough you want to compromise or even quit on God. How do you stay the course. You're going to find out tomorrow. To get a head start read Hebrews 12:1-4. Be ready to engage yourselves with God.
Also be sure to check out our announcements. We have a lot going on and believe me when I say more is on the way. We've got some amazing things in store to propel you in your relationship with God and help you reach your friends.
Lastly don't forget Winter Weekend or The Big 8 Challenge.

Problem with Games
Hey guys! Just a quick note about the games. If you are only seeing half the game it most likely has to do with your web browser. Internet Explorer is the worst for this. I use Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome. These have worked well.

Last Night
Hey everyone! Great night last night. Congrats to all of you who were able to quote back to me the first verse of the Big 8 Challenge. Don't forget the verses are above under "MY Verse" if you forget it.
Also I want to encourage everyone to get involved with this Amazing Bible Race. If you still want to do it, just leave me a comment. This is a great chance to read through the entire Bible and do it with a team. Having a team will keep you motivated especially as you do the challenges and quizzes. After the two year marathon we will have a sweet prize for the team who has the most points.
This is one thing you should do because everyone else is!
Lastly don't forget that God has a good plan for you and you can complete it. Give God your very best!

Lots Goin On
There is a ton going on! We've got Revolution Night and contest, The Amazing Bible Race, The Big 8 challenge, and Winter Weekend. Don't miss out and stay connected. I believe this could be the best year of your lives coming up. We've got a lot of great things we're planning for the New Year 2009 so get ready!
I've added a "Ur Verse" Section at the top. It will feature the verse of the week from our previous Decision service. Take time and memorize it. It will help you stay positive in a negative world as well as change your life. God's word always does.
We'll have some new music as well coming soon. O and I added a game section on the right. Check it out!!!
Ur Verse
Below you will find the key verse from the previous Decision Service. Study these verses and memorize them. They will change your life.
1. Wed, October 8th:
Jeremiah 29:11 - "...For I know the plans I have for you," says the Lord. "They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope."
2. Wed, October 15th:
2 Peter 1:5-8 - But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge, 6 to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance godliness, 7 to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love. 8 For if these things are yours and abound, you will be neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
3. Wed, October 22nd:
Hebrews 12:3 - For consider Him who endured such hostility from sinners against Himself, lest you become weary and discouraged in your souls.
4. Wed, October 29th:
2 Timothy 2:3-4 -You therefore must endure hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. No one engaged in warfare entangles himself with the affairs of this life, that he may please him who enlisted him as a soldier.
5. Wed, November 5th:
Luke 4:18-19 - The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, for he has anointed me to bring Good News to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim that captives will be released, that the blind will see, that the oppressed will be set free, 19 and that the time of the Lord's favor has come.
6. Wed, November 12th:
John 13:34-35 - A new commandment I give unto you, that you love one another: as I have loved you, that ou also love one another. 35 By this shall all men know that you are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.
7. Wed, November 19th:
John 3:16 - For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes on Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
8. Wed, December 3rd:
Luke 6:38 - Give and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that you measure withal it shall be measured to you again.
The Big 8 Challenge
The Bible is God's word to us. Therefore it is vital that we get God's word in our minds and hearts so we can think like Him, act like Him, and see ourselves like He sees us.
Here's the challenge. For 8 weeks we will have a scripture verse for you to memorize. Any student who can memorize The Big 8 Verses and quote it to a leader the following week, as well as quote all 8 verses the day of Wed, December 17, you will be placed in a drawing to win a FREE Winter Weekend 09. We will cover your $95.
So for instance October 8ths verse was Jeremiah 29:11. You will have to memorize it and quote it to myself or a leader on Wed, October 15th, the following week. Once again we will draw for the winner Wed, Dec 17.
To remember the verse each week click "Ur Verse " at the top.
Get involved! It will change your life.

Amazing Bible Race
It's a nationwide race through the Bible over a two year time frame. Any Youth Ministry can join.
How does it work?
Any student who would like to participate will be placed on a team of 4-7 teenagers including an adult team leader. The Bible has been separated into 6 sections, so the race will consist of 6, 12 week legs. Each team member will purchase the field guide for the current leg of the race. Each day the team members will read the chapter(s) for the day and then follow up with the devotion for that chapter in the field.
After completing the reading for that day there are challenges, quizzes, and hurdles that must be completed to earn points for the team. some things will need to be completed as a team. Other challenges will be completed on your own time on www.amazingbiblerace.com. You will have a personal log-in to use the website.
Each week the team leader will contact each team member to follow up with them on their reading. Throughout the race the team will meet together to complete challenges.
The top 10 teams who have read the entire Bible and earned the most points based on quiz scores and completed challenges will win $500 for the mission trip of their choice or for a missions organization.
How much does it cost?
It costs $6 for each field guide. So $6 every 12 weeks.
What do I have to do?
Simply sign up to join a team, pay us $6 for the field guide, and commit to reading your Bible and completing tasks. This is no small thing. It's a real challenge.
When should I sign up by?
Now!!! We will start this race no later than the first week of November. Once we have everyone signed up we will contact you and make teams. Leave a comment with your name, # and email. I will not post it on the blog.
