Alive in the Mountains 2011 – “CARRY IT. LIVE IT. GIVE IT.” was incredible; and we praise God for the many lives that were changed. Nearly 700 students and group leaders attended this year’s life-changing retreat. Over 70 students made decisions for Christ. Wow! We serve a great and almighty God. We are very excited about what He did at Alive in the Mountains and how He is going to use these students to glorify His name. Please continue to pray for these students as they seek to grow closer to God.
Alive in the Mountains 2011 was held in Pigeon Forge, Tenn. at the Smoky Mountain Convention Center Dec. 27-30. Students were challenged to embrace Scripture, God’s Word, for answers and direction for their lives. They were challenged to stand strong and turn to God when faced with life’s toughest challenges. Students were taught and encouraged to “CARRY IT. LIVE IT. GIVE IT.” We would like to thank you for your continuous thoughts and prayers during the retreat. Please pray that students will take what they learned at the conference and CARRY IT with them everywhere they go, LIVE IT in their daily lives and GIVE IT to their family and friends.
We would like to give a special thanks to our speakers Brent Crowe and Dave Edwards; Illusionist Drew Worsham; CJ Blount who led our worship and Finding Favour for the concert performance.
During the retreat, students received the opportunity to help children in Kenya. We took up a love offering to further First Priority Global Ministries’ ministry to provide shoes for children who live in the slums of Kenya. Having shoes help these children avoid obtaining deadly diseases and other serious health issues. We are ecstatic to announce that we collected nearly $3,000 during the love offering to help provide shoes for the children in Kenya! We would like to thank all those who gave to help children in need.
We would like to thank all those again who attended Alive in the Mountains. We are already looking forward to next year! Be sure to click on the links below to view pictures from Alive in the Mountains. Thank you again for your continuous thoughts and prayers.
