WE ARE!

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!

BIG THANKS to George Cox for the pics and video!!!

BIG THANKS to Jorge Rivas with I Heart Custom Shirts for the logo and shirts!!!
