<title>CLASS of 2013 | IGNITION YOUTH MINISTRY | San Jose, CA. WestGate Church</title>

Note From Mike:

FREEDOM! It’s finally here, you can see it, hear it, taste it, touch it and scream it…I DID IT! Whether you’re graduating from kindergarten, High School or College…you are moving on. Starting a new stage in life where you will learn a ton about you and this crazy world. It’s pretty exciting to dream about the future and realistically, plan your life and move closer to what God has for you in life. These are training grounds for battle…get ready. Here are a couple things you need to remember…

God is preparing you for what He has prepared you for! He’s not done with you!

ASK: What is the wise thing to do? In light of your past failures, your current circumstances and your future hopes and dreams! What is the wise thing to do?

COMMUNITY! COMMUNITY! COMMUNITY! Find it…a community that loves Jesus and loves you:)

Know that I am praying for you! Praying that you will fall in love with Jesus more and more and your relationship with Him will go beyond the walls of your dorm, room or bunker! You are the best representative of Jesus to your friends…scary…but make the best of every opportunity! Be BOLD and change someones world!

Thanks Josh for the videos, inspiration and love for students! http://joshshipp.com/

WE ARE | Ignition Youth Ministry – WestGate Church in San Jose, CA

I AM Winter Camp 2013 was a great success! A great team effort by 12 churches in the Bay Area to reach and inspire High School Student from Gilroy to San Francisco…CRAZY! We have been dreaming big and God is placing some amazing men and women in our path.

We had over 300 people up at Redwood Christian Park in Boulder Creek, CA. Dale Gustafson was our speaker and did a stellar job! The theme of the camp was Identity…finding who we are in Jesus! The worship band was made up of college students within the 12 churches…James Asselin, Sam Talbert, Linnea Locsin, Bryan Cox and Thiago DeSouza…they killed it! The pastors from each church hosted seminars to go deeper into the theme…all hit home with students. I AM Forgiven, I AM A Servant, I AM Enough, I AM Not My Parents, I AM A World Changer, I AM Confused and I AM No More…thank you! Rec was off the hook!

All in all, students, leaders and pastors walked away changed, united, encouraged and knowing that a multitude of “I AM’s” is a powerful “WE ARE” in Christ!
