Freedom House Youth!

Last week's RAK Attack was amazing. Check out the video evidence... This week at youth... we're digging even further into the question of, "How do I change my city?" at our Freedom House Youth Service 7pm at the City Center. This weekend, I got to hang out with a room full of people who PRAY pray at the 24/7 Prayer National Meeting. One guy from Vancouver and his group have been praying for 4 years... non stop!!! But they don't just pray... they change the city! This is a picture of me and him hanging out in a tunnel UNDER Niagara Falls! For real! We'll learn more about it Wednesday Night... come ready to worship! Also please email me ( dave@freedomhouse.ca ) ASAP if you are coming to all or part of the 1st ever Freedom House Youth Retreat March 6th and 7th. There will likely be a very small cost but nothing out of anyone's reach. Leaders and youth... please confirm one way or another ASAP! Thanks! Cya Wednesday! Dave

It MAY be a BIT drizzly outside, but that's OK because... we're giving away lightbulbs tonight!!! I have 120 lightbulbs ready to be given to unsuspecting downtown residents tonight! Why are we doing this you ask? A) "To show God's love in a practical way" because B) Romans 2:4 says "God's kindness leads you toward repentance" So make sure you wear a coat that you can get a little wet... because it's RAK NIGHT @ YOUTH! Dave

Well... here's what the weather looks like for tonight.. That doesn't sound like good "handing out lightbulb" weather to me. So we'll do that next week. Off to plan B... Tonight will be GAME NIGHT! We're gonna play board games by the fire in the lounge tonight. So if you have a favorite board game (or 2 or 3) bring them tonight. See you @7 tonight! Dave

This week at youth... it's our monthly Random Act of Kindness Night! Last week, you'll remember, we walked around our new neighborhood (the heart of the city) and looked... listened... observed what the climate of the area was. Then we analyzed it and identified the best way to let God's light shine in the darkness. And what we came up with was... we're going to be giving away energy saver light bulbs to the people who live in the apartments downtown. Youth will all be with adult leaders of course. I was talking with a Christian Brantford Paramedic this weekend about our RAK Attack and she said, " that will be great, because lots of those places don't have light bulbs!" Awesome! When we're asked why? We simply say... that we're trying to show you how much God loves you in a practical way. You see... both practically and spiritually... light gets rid of darkness. Wednesday night, we WILL loose God's light into our new neighborhood. Just

This week at youth, we're picking up where we left off last week. We're going to take what we learned last week about using our spiritual senses... and we're gonna take it into the city. We'll meet in the lounge (by the fire) at 7pm... please wear warm clothes as we ARE gonna go outside. Check out the schedule for what else is coming up this month. Also some BIG NEWS! I'm happy to announce the FIRST EVER FREEDOM HOUSE YOUTH RETREAT!!!! Details are still to come, but I want you circle Friday March 6th and Saturday March 7th on your calender. Our youth retreat is going to be... RIGHT INSIDE FREEDOM HOUSE. We're having a "lock-in sleepover" at our very cool, brand new church home! We'll be having a Friday night service, then play games into the wee hours! After we sleep (please Jesus let there be sleep) we'll be having a full day of services, food and fun on Saturday! I'll send more details as they become final but make sure you BOOK
