Spring International Bible Treasure Hunt

What advice from the elders of the church did the youth feel was most meaningful?

Youth must be an example in their family and in school. They must present God's word through testimony and experience, sharing what they have learned. (Conexion 610 - Mexico City)

Youth must stay involved in and with the church. (Minnesota)

Youth must invite new people to join the group. (Conexion 610)

Youth must share their skills with others and help others, doing outreach projects. (Minnesota)

Youth must fast and pray together, finding ways to serve God. (Conexion 610)

What is a favorite song and why is it meaningful?

Amazing Love which reads: I'm forgiven because you were forsaken

I'm accepted; You were condemned

I'm alive and well; Your Spirit lives within me

Because You died and rose again.

We picked this song because it tells us why we were forgiven, assures us we will not be condemned and that the Spirit is in us always. (Minnesota)

"Come hold me, don't let me go; I want to spend eternity with you" ... the words are not about a special person in one's life, they are about God. When we sing this praise song, we tell God how we desire to spend eternity with Him and how much we need Him" (Conexion 610)

What did each youth group learn about themselves through the Treasure Hunt?

It is good to have patience with each other (Minnesota)

It is important to have teamwork when doing a project.(Conexion)

There is more way than one to look for answers. (Minnesota)

We have treasures in ourselves that we must find. (Conexion)
