YEC 2010 – REAL PEOPLE – REAL GOD

On March 5, 2010, twenty Youth and six Adults headed to Nashville for YEC 2010. After checking into our hotel, we preceded on to the conference. We were able to get good seats on the floor. The band Unhindered was awesome. Joe Castillo the Sandstory Artist did a sandstory on the Passion of Christ that left the whole place spellbound. Tommy Woodward and Eddie James of The Skit Guys did a skit on Adam and Eve. Later they spoke at the main session on Friday night using Mark 10, (The Rich Young Ruler), as the Biblical text. Tommy and Eddie each took a part in the text. They presented a pre-recorded modern day skit on the subject.

After the conference we went to CiCi’s Pizza to eat the buffet then we went to our hotel for a prayer, praise, and share time.

Saturday we went to the 9:30 am conference. We were able to get good seats on the floor. The band Unhindered woke us up praising the Lord. Joe Castillo the SandStory Artist amazed us with a sandstory of The Prodigal Son. The Skit Guys did a skit on “Zacchaeus, a wee little man.” Ed Newton was the main speaker. He referred to the story of Peter and John healing the man at the temple.

At the end of the conference, the group of 55 students and adults that are going to Naples, Italy, in June were asked to come up front to be commissioned as summer missionaries. Savannah Warren from our group was part of that group and will receive a portion of the missions offering that was taken up Sat. morning at YEC.

After the conference had ended, we went to “Micky Dees” for lunch. After lunch we went to Opry Mills to window shop before heading back down I-40 for home.

All the youth and adult counselors were challenged to “let your light shine” to all the world and to be REAL Christians. It was an awesome experience to be a part of the 9,782 who attended YEC 2010 and to witness 314 spiritual decisions—some for salvation, some for full-time Christian ministry and others for a renewed walk with the Lord.
