As we practiced, it began to sprinkle. And then pour. We practiced until the sound of the rain driving onto the tin roofs drowned out our music. Because it was raining so hard, …
Sunday & Monday in Nicaragua

On the Ground in Nicaragua
Our trip began early Thursday morning — at 1AM we bussed to Chicago to catch our flight and we arrived in Nicaragua on Thursday afternoon.

On our way to Nicaragua
The girls are packing up all their suitcases now. It's hard to believe that this time tomorrow, we'll be unpacking our bags in Nicaragua! These few days have flown by.

At the end of his youth group’s outreach to Madison, this is what the Youth Pastor had to say. “My favorite moments during Mad*Reach ’09 were all the transformative changes and firsts that God did in our youth group: people who never evangelized started to evangelize, people who never prayed for strangers prayed for strangers and people who did not …
Teens Discover God during Madison Outreach
An Illinois youth group came to Madison to learn about God and to help others. None of them expected that their lives would change, too. Here are some of their stories. “I turned against God a few years ago because I was mad at Him. So even though I still went to church, I would just sit in the back …
Outreach to Allied Drive Changes Teen’s Perspective

We were …
