All Hill Country Young Life @ Luckenbach, Texas 4.28.08

Friends,

Last night was such a blast! Boerne, along with 8 other areas from around the Hill Country (Kerrville, Fredericksburg, Blanco, Marble Falls, New Braunfels, Comfort, Bandera) loaded up onto charter buses and headed for Luckenbach Dance Hall for an All Hill Country YL Club! Come 7:15 kids were pilling out of cars and buses and they were ready for an amazing time. The energy was like none other. Imagine over 200 kids knocking at the door of Luckenbach ready for a grand time! It was awesome.

We brought kids in and did a little Dancing Thru the Ages and sang a few songs. Our very own Justin Hooter and Sean Segovia did a walk-on to Club. Their names were Tad and Todd “The Spartan Rejects.” They were number 301 and 302 (you’d know this if you saw a popular movie among high school kids called 300). They were hilarious.

My freind Aaron Collins graced us with his presence last night and spoke of Jesus. Aaron talked a lot about real life. His wife Liz, just gave birth to their second child Avery. He recounted the story with kids as they listened in wonder to what it looks like to have a C section! Aaron told kids that Avery was stuck. She couldn’t start her life without someone opening up Liz’s stomach and pulling her out. Its the same way with you and me. We cannot really start to live unless we allow Jesus to pull us out of being stuck in life. He gave kids a chance to respond to the Gospel and I know 4 or 5 kids gave their lives to Christ last night.

At the end of the night we raffled off a FREE TRIP to camp! It was amazing! Kids are really getting excited about camp.

All in all, last night was one of the best events I’ve ever been apart of in Young Life. There was something really amazing about it. Our kids had such a wonderful time! Thanks again for giving us a chance to be able to do some awesome things like this!
