Quick update: High School Retreat!

-
Hey everyone! Myah is working on a more comprehensive update to send out soon, but I wanted to share a quick update about our recent high school "intensive" retreat! 

Myah and I had the honor of helping coordinate and lead our first high school intensive this past weekend. We worked with our friends Tianna and Joel to plan content, create the schedule, assign roles, and lead the whole retreat! Myah was the "MC" for the entire weekend, making sure all the students knew what was happening and when. I got the opportunity to teach an hour long class about "Law vs Grace" and how to properly view the gospel. 

We had 15 students attend the retreat, which was probably the most we've ever had at a high school intensive! Our theme for the weekend was "the unveiling", using the theme passage 2 Corinthians 3:12-18. During our final session, students were asked to write a lie keeping them from God on a piece of cloth, then tear the cloth and burn it, symbolizing their direct access to God through the cross of Jesus. Many students had significant encounters with Jesus through this experience and through the worship session Myah and I were honored to lead the same night. 

One student came in with a number of things weighing her down; depression, anxiety, anger...etc. After our Saturday night session, she told one of our team members that after she "tore the veil", the Lord told her she was free and she felt all the weight and darkness lift off of her. She left the retreat looking and acting visibly different than the way she came into the weekend! Praise the Lord! "Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom." 2 Corinthians 3:17

We were so honored to lead this retreat and see the Lord work throughout the weekend! Thank you all for your support that allows us to pour our time into ministry here at Revolution 5! Look out for a longer update coming from Myah soon :)

Hi Friends and Family! Welcome to our new blog! We’re super excited to begin using this as our primary way of staying connected with you. Our hope is that this space will let us communicate more regularly with our support team and create a more personal connection than our newsletters have allowed. If you’re reading this, thank you for taking the time to stay updated on how the Lord is working in our lives and through our ministry at Revolution 5. You’ll also get an email notification each time the blog is updated, so you can always stay in the loop! Today is new student move-in day! We’ve just wrapped up two weeks of training for our roles and responsibilities within Rev 5 this year, and now it’s game time. We are so excited to help cultivate a space where these new students can sit down at the table with Jesus and grow with Him for the next nine months. Last year, Rev 5 was deeply impactful for both of us—personally and in our marriage—and we’re absolutely PUMPED to see how the Lor...

September Updates - Lots of Trips!

Dear Friends and Family,  The last three weeks have been a whirlwind of an adventure with everything from midnight van breakdowns in Wyoming to seeing the beginnings of breakthroughs in a few student’s lives. Here are the latest updates!  Perspective Trip One of the biggest highlights these past few weeks was our first big trip of the year—taking students and staff families up to the Tetons in Wyoming. The theme was Perspective —learning to see ourselves, others, and the world through God’s story of redemption instead of the enemy’s narrative of destruction.  The trip started a little wild—one of our vans broke down at midnight in the middle of Wyoming. Everyone was tired and cranky, but it was awesome to watch the students (and us leaders!) rally, choose joy, and still roll into the Tetons by 4am. I love this trip because it’s fun and lighthearted, but also gives a glimpse into the deeper parts of everyone’s hearts. We saw masks come down and real bonding happen. We took...
