CDYC 2009 Report


You would think after several years of going to CDYC we would run out of surprises.....not so! This week held some incredible life long memories. Some relate to life change and growing closer to the Lord and others will be added to the list of CDYC's most memorable moments (along with Chandler eating a dragon fly, Andy's tattoo reveal, grocery cart crashing, etc.). This year held two first-time CYDC moments.....being at CDYC for about 15 minutes the fire department showing up with lights/siren blaring when one of our students turned on a fog machine in the dorm triggering the smoke alarms. We are not sure why he brought a fog machine in the first place. Saturday night Andy and a few students ran Kyle to the ER to get ten stitches in his head from a wallyball accident involving his head and Ryan's knee. Kyle should heal up fine but will be sporting a nice scar on his forehead for a few years. The speaker, Todd Nighswonger, did a great job challenging us this week to surrender more and more of our heart/life to the Lord. The sports competitions were fun even though we didn't win any awards in basketball, volleyball or soccer. Jake was crowned ping pong champion this year. Andy retired his belt as the CDYC arm wrestling champion to make room for the next generation. Pastor Ron and his family spent the afternoon and evening with us one night and took Andy and Amy through renewing their vows to celebrate their 20 yr anniversary. Most of the group had an opportunity to go out into the Marion community and pick up trash and bottles for the "live to serve" project. Soooo....after a week of good laughs and good cries, we would def say that CDYC 2009 was a success and well worth it. Even though there is no money back guarentee, we would be surprised if all our 46 students weren't changed from the "inside out" in some way. Thank you, Lord, for an exciting, meaningful and life changing week. Click for video and pictures. CDYC 2009
