What do you call about 400 ENERGETIC junior high students, all their adult youth leaders, an outstanding facility/camp staff, the best camp food ever, a great worship band, and an encounter with God Himself? That would be Timber-Lee's Winter Exreme Weekend! Here's a short video from our time at Timber-Lee last weekend to give you a feel of a Winter Extreme Weekend: Timber-lee's winterXtreme January 22nd-24th 2010 Stacy, Libby, and Sadey had a blast going down the tubing hill.

This weekend I'm speaking to over 3,000 students in Green Bay, WI, and would love it like crazy if you would say a quick prayer for us—see 1 Thessalonians 5:25 . It would be CRAZY cool if you'd take a minute and write out your prayer for us as a comment to this post.
