first-ever cell retreat

Published by kmcc at 8:35 am under events

Since the founding of our new High School ministry about two years ago, it’s been a long haul. Finally! This weekend the Word Cell Groups will gather to celebrate, study and launch a new home church.

It was not that long ago we had the same experience with our fledgling KSU ministry. The picture below shows the “founding mammas and pappas” of our college group as they appeared on their first-ever Cell Group retreat. The Word CG retreat will be comprised of about twice as many participants. If the KSU group started with such a paltry few, what will this new, larger crop of Christian leaders look like in a few years?

The KSU ministry was a motly crew, but it proves God can use anyone to build His church!

We’ll be studying “Comparative World Philosophies” at this upcoming Cell Retreat, and the youngsters will learn about Postmodernism, Humanism, Agnosticism, Universalism, Neo-Paganism and several other world views which seek to challenge their faith. This year they’ve been holding weekly meetings after school in a club called “The Philosophy Society” where many of these world views have been competing for attention among the student population.

Youngsters from the original KSU CG retreat will be senior leaders at the Word retreat. Mark is not nearly as “salty”
as he was back then…		 Can you believe this pretty young lady is a college graduate today?

Update:Today (Wednesday, 1/24), we had 12 High Schoolers show up for our weekly prayer meeting! These kids need some serious support… they’re breaking all the records and all the rules for High Schoolers. What an amazing group!

    Mark looks the same today as he did then! Isn’t that amazing?

    What’s amazing is you just commented on your own story! It’s bittersweet to see pictures from that retreat, as many people have long since left the body. I can help but wonder how many of these high school guys will stick around and go on to be leaders. Hopefully, they all will.
