ULTRA ZONE

Another successful outing! Ultra Zone was 2 MUCH FUN!!!!! We had some new faces with us this time. Every one enjoyed themselves.. For some reason the same people kept following me, shooting me their laser gun.. (we won't mention any names!!! lol) We also won't mention what the scores were. LOL. Let's just say, it was fun tagging people when they couldn't figure out who was tagging them. Here are a few pictures taken by the one and only Zach Briggs. Some of these were taken inside the dark room where we were playing laser tag. So that's why they are a little dark. I'm looking forward to our next outing!!!!!!

Ultra Zone Outing (NO GIRLS ALLOWED)

Hey this is Brian... me & the young men of Ignite went to Ultrazone yesterday (Sat., Jan.12,2008). We had a blast!!! There was about 10 of us, and you already know we were representin' (the lord's army). I don't know what was worse London following me around for a whole game or Albert hopping on the winning team every game!!! LOL!
For those of you who missed out, be sure to attend Ignite to stay posted on what's going on!!! See you @ the paintball park soon!!! DON'T BE SCARED!

LOCK-IN

Here are some of the pictures from the lock-in! The pictures explain everything. People that went to sleep got pranked....we had our version of fear factor with food only (that was hilarious).......a dance contest... it was fun. The next one will be a lot better now that we've learned from this one. It was a lot of fun! Most importantly, 17 youth received Christ so there was much rejoicing in heaven. We had 43 youth total. Looking forward to what God will do with Ignite Student Ministries in the near future. STAY TUNED AND CONNECTED.

Lecrae Concert in Warsaw, IN

This month we took some students from Ignite to the 'Lecrae' concert in Warsaw, In. A few of the girls and I were able to take a picture with Lecrae. Lecrae is one of the many christian rap artists that are starting to get a lot of exposure. I want the youth to be exposed to the different rap groups that are out there. If we want young people to change the music they listen to, we have to provide them with an alternative. There are a lot of alternatives now more than ever. For more information on Lecrae and other music artists go to www.reachrecords.com and/or www.crossmovementrecords.com. We have to do a better job of exposing young people to better music.

Activity Day

Tonight was a lot of fun.. it was activity day. So we briefly reviewed what we taught on at the beginning of the month which was.... "Being Strong in God". I enjoy encouraging people to be unashamed and I felt like we got through to the kids. After we reviewed I let the leaders lead the activity, WIN, LOSE OR DRAW!!! It's an old school game but we brought it back tonight. It was a lot of fun. Everyone got involved you can see that from the pictures. By the way, you can click on the pictures you can see it larger. For those of us with blessed eyes. Lol!!! I like having activities because I get to see how the kids talk, what they do when they're excited, and what they do when they're are upset. It helps me locate them and see what I need to talk with them about when we minister.

Little Turtle Go-Cart Outing.. 2 Much Fun

We had our first Ignite Outing at Little Turtle Go-Carts..and it was too much fun. We had a good turn-out. Some of the students even brought their friends so that was cool. For some reason, the guys kept wanting to race me. Why? I don't know. LOL. They knew they were going to win. The first time I lost horribly but the second time I got 5th place out of 7th. Yay!!!!!!! And, wow, the girls can be just as competitive as the boys. LOL. I had fun with the kids and I'm looking forward to other activities we'll be doing. The workers at Little Turtle let us stay longer than we were scheduled to stay. A lot of us didn't leave until 7 and it was over at 6. So that gave us more time. If your child missed out, that's okay, we have lots of other activities we'll be doing in the near future. Don't miss out :)
