We made it!!

We arrived Saturday night safe and sound. The Lord was very gracious in giving us an uneventful and quick trip. Our evening included having dinner, checking into the hotel and spending some time with the Longoria's.









We are working on getting more pictures up from Sunday.

This morning we were able to sleep in before going to Gospel Grace to worship. Because the church has grown so much, Gospel Grace now offers two services with a Gospel growth hour in between. The students' session was taught on obedience in the Christian life and then we all gathered back together for the 2nd service where Lukus Counterman taught on Ephesians 6: 10-13. After church, we headed to lunch and then headed up the hill to Park City for some team time. We toured the 2002 Olympic museum and then enjoyed the great outdoors.













After dinner, we headed back to downtown SLC and gathered together outside Temple Square to prepare our hearts and minds for the coming week. Victor gave a quick background of the Temple and reminded us of truth from the Word. Kelly challenged us to love the people of Salt Lake City and then we prayed together. We ended our time with some yummy ice cream and a time of prayer for one another.







Tomorrow morning begins a full week of Plant camp! We will be starting bright and early at Gospel Grace Church. We will be learning the history of the city as we get to take a tour of the Temple grounds, overlook the city from Ensign Peak and familiarize ourselves with the people of SLC. Our afternoon will be spent canvassing for Backyard Bible Club and our evening will be spent being taught by Will Galkin followed by a prayer walk throughout the city. Please be in prayer for our team as we have our first full day of Plant Camp.  Please also be praying that we would be bold in Gospel.

Monday - Plant Camp has begun!

Plant Camp has begun!  We started the morning off at Gospel Grace getting to know the four other youth groups that are here in a "get to know you" game.  Jon Kopp shared with us their vision for the Salt Lake City area and the desire to see more Gospel centered churches.  He shared a video that stated there is only 1 Gospel centered church for every 10,000 people, making it the least churched city in America.  We then drove to the center of SLC, Temple Square, for a tour of the Convention Center and the Temple Square grounds.  While at the Convention Center, we got to ask our guide some questions about his beliefs and see the view of the city.  On the tour of Temple Square, we had two American sisters show us the Tabernacle, the Chapel and outside the Temple.  We were really proud of our students for being bold and stepping out of their comfort zones to ask questions that made the sisters contemplate what they believe.  After our tours, we walked to a park and had lunch wi

Day Four - Equipping and Serving

We started the fourth day of Plant Camp at Gospel Grace continuing our study of 1 John 4:13-16.  The theme being "God Dwells in Us."  One of the main purposes in 1 John is to help believers have a confident assurance of eternal life.  Our small group time was sweet as we focused on the assurance of our salvation and our own person spiritual condition.  After our session, we helped set up for a free car wash, in the afternoon, at Gospel Grace.  The ladies used their artistic talents and made signs, while the guys set up the parking lot. - After lunch, we had another teaching session on Sharing Jesus with the Religious.  We focused on specifically speaking with someone who is Mormon, however we walked away with the tools that can help us share Jesus with someone of any religious belief.  We then headed to Riverton, where Gospel Hope is, and hung door hangers.  Once door hangers were finished we headed back to Gospel Grace for a time of prayer with all the other teams
