The other half of the skiing trip

So we didn't just spend time skiing on the trip to the alps. That was, of course, the upfront reason that we went, and the reason people joined the trip. But the secondary purpose in going was to help present the Christian worldview to people who didn't really know what it was/is.

In the evenings we gathered in the main room after supper. Different student leaders were assigned each night to lead us in a game or two. One evening we played King Frog. Following the game time we had a short song service. We took Impact's new djimbe along, and I got to play each evening. Then came the sharing time. One of our student leaders was either interviewed by Brian, our leader, or shared their testimony. Then came the main speaker for the evening. Different leaders spoke each evening, presenting a story from the Bible in a new way. They each encouraged us to consider the Christian worldview, referring to the story and the effect that Jesus had.

All but one night finished out with us getting into groups of those we roomed with. In each group we talked over a few questions that stemmed from the evening's subject. The goal was to help stimulate more thoughts on what was presented, the Christian worldview. It was very interesting to me to hear different worldviews, and see some things that I agreed with. At the same time, there were several things that I didn't agree with. It was a wonderful time for me to think, just as much as I hope they were doing.

The last night that we met, after the groups time, most of us left and went to bed. The next morning I heard that one of the students had chosen to accept Christ that night. He was one of the ones we had each privately considered most unlikely to choose our Savior. It was amazing.

In His Time,
