Unstoppable and Unafraid is the theme for this summer’s student Getaway Conference. Based on Isaiah 6:1-8 — “Look. This coal has touched your lips. Gone your guilt, your sins wiped out.” And then I heard the voice of the Master: “Whom shall I send? Who will go for us?” I spoke up, “I’ll go. Send me!” (The Message)

These six days are more than a conference, they are a time of equipping, training, and life-changing messages to prepare students to walk with God, explore Biblical truths and learn how to talk to friends about their personal faith. Over 600 students from east of the Mississippi gathered in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.

Youth speaker James White addressed the topics of Finishing after Failing and The Freedom we have in Christ. On the beach, students found ways of attracting attention. After doing crazy sand battles and tug-of-war, they took the initiative in the power of the Holy Spirit to share Christ, leaving the results to God.

Students were challenged to take the Gospel to the ends of the earth. Several students decided to go on a Student Venture International Spring or Summer mission project next year.

• Greg and Hannah are ministering in the Dominican Republic June 26 through July 2. Because this is so far outside her life experience, Hannah is a bit nervous about the trip. Pray for safe journeys and good health.
• We continue to go round and round with insurance regarding one of Ethan’s therapies. We hear, “yes” and then, “no”. This is a huge emotional drain on Kristie who is exercising all due diligence in pursuing the process.
• Pray for wisdom regarding Ethan’s schooling. Praying through what will be best for him next year and waiting for the Lord’s leading. In the meantime, doing much school work over the summer.
