Hello all!
Forgive me for forgetting to put a blog together last week.
It was our first week with out Mat to remind us, and we already realized how
much we need him.
Tonight was our final club of the year! And we went out with
a bang. We decided to make it a completely student led club, and I think we
will want to do that much more next year. Having them up front gave them more
of a reason to invite their friends, and they came. It was the highest energy
and most people we’ve had all spring, and I loved every moment. I was
especially loving not having to be up front, and being able to sit back and
watch. The best part of the night was watching our senior Kelsey Finicle get
up, share her testimony and preach about the Love of Christ. 3 years ago,
Kelsey was one of the first students to walk into our new Sprague Young Life
club, and she came to camp with us that first summer. Amanda especially decided
that Kelsey was a girl she wanted to disciple and walk with, and tonight was a
proud night for all of us! She shared about a few tough seasons in her life,
and the way God pulled her through. The rest of the crowd silently listened,
leaning on every word. It was awesome!
I will try and upload a video of her speaking soon! For some reason, my little lap top isn't letting me tonight.

We ended by bringing out a gutter filled with ice cream and toppings, an epic traditional foursquare tournament and hang out time. It was a great night to end the semester with! Now we have 3 weeks to fundraise 4.000 for 21 of us to go to camp on the 23rd ! I can’t wait!

Hey, Mat here!! I just wanted to tag on to what Cait said!
Man, tonight was awesome. For me, it was such a huge affirmation of the fruit
of the last three years. It was SO COOL to see our incredible students just hit
club out of the park! It was such a great night. SO much fun! Such an honor to
be involved in it! I just wanted to say thank you to all of you for all the
support in this ministry. I’m so excited to get over to West Salem Young Life
and implement so much of what I’ve learned at Sprague. I have LOVED this past
three years more than words can describe. It has been an honor to serve with
this incredible leaders and this incredible adult support team. I can never
fully express my thanks to you all! This ministry would not be the same without
all of you!
