Tonight was wonderful! It was our All City Young Life and we had over 325 students! Way to many to count! How cool is that!? We had students from every High School in the Greater Salem Area (North, West, McKay, Central, Cascade, South, Sprague, and McNary) and it was so fun to get all our students together for one super Young Life! We played some great games, sang some great songs, the Prize Wheel had it's debut, and students got a hear about Jesus! What more could you ask for? Ronal Cruz, from Vida Joven (our Young Life ministry to hispanic students) gave the talk today and spoke from both his personal journey, and the prodigal song from Luke 15, he talked about how we all walk away to try to fill ourselves with something unfulfilling, but it's only once we come home to God that we actually find real fulfillment. He did a great job and the room of 325 students listened quietly the whole time. It is an incredible blessing to work in a ministry with so many people that are such great communicators of truth. Thank you all for making it possible through your prayers and financial gifts and willingness to help where help is needed! Special thanks to Charlie and Nancy Marshall for providing dinner tonight! You are all wonderful! -Mat
