Ft. Wilderness

I finally have a chance to post about the college retreat from August 11.

Zeal, Miami Baptists' college group, had a chance to get together for a few days in Disney's Ft. Wilderness. Upon arrival we we broke up into teams of 4-5 people. We were all given colored bandannas to differentiate each team. (ours were red, w/ black white and pink paw prints...(aww cute right?<--sarcasm) We decided to call ourselves K-9s for Christ. We tagged up the driveways-ran through campsites w/ flashlights looking for fireflies, then at night we would reconvene to discuss our fit within the church.
This retreat was non-stop. We were at breakfast by 8a and lights out at 11:30p. Many of us didn't go to bed until much later. We would hang around the campsites chill, talk, play music, recap about the days events and eventually go to sleep. This retreat gave us the opportunity to bond w/ our fellow "Zealots" But the main reason for this retreat "Our fit in today's church" is what hit hard. We conversed about how, as Christians, we are not doing our full part in this world. Many tasks have been left undone by the church. If we all just played our part today we would be able to fulfill God's work and change the world for the better.
