Lessons at CDYC

A few things I've been reminded of here as I've shared with about 800 High School Students and Leaders:

• Marathon Speaking (morning sessions and night sessions) with follow up conversations can be exhausting.
• Cell phones are great and annoying at the same time (216 sent and received yesterday).
• Youth Pastors are the most amazing people around.
• Students are the second most amazing people around.
• Authentic life lived and spoken beats any amazing illustration or object lesson.
• The Central District of the Missionary Church has a fantastic network of support and love built among it's youth leaders.
• God is alive and speaking to the hearts of the next generation.
• IWU has really good food.
• This is all totally worth it!
