One week spent with Jesus: Priceless!
One example from a student of how valuable a week away at FLY can be:
"Long story short, my youth group took two vans. At the beginning of the trip, there was a lot of hostility, and it
continued on through the week. On our way home, one of the vans broke down, and we all had to be in one van.
We put on the FLY Worship CD, and everyone started singing. After that, we each gave testimonies and
became really close! God worked through you and the rest of the singing gang to bring unity to our group, and I thank you for that." Andrew Peterson, Oklahoma
How can a person sum up what the Lord did through His Word during FLY? It's best said by the testimonies of
Jesus changing hearts and challenging believers. It's best seen by the lives of the students demonstrating the
fruit of the Spirit in their homes, their schools, and their local congregations. It's best remembered by the
message of the cross - Jesus took sin on Himself so that we could be saved.
We praise the Lord for a truly priceless week through the Gospel!
