| Capital Region students at Upstate Fall Getaway 2012 |
Imagine 400 people singing praise to Jesus. Powerful is one word to describe that one. We just got back from a great weekend on Seneca Lake. Jen and I love going back every year- this time with TWO kids. It brings back great memories and new ones are made. For us, it started 7 years ago when Jen and I were just dating. Now, we have a family of 4. God has done so much in our lives since then. He is in the business of changing lives. That is exactly what he did this weekend.

| Friends |
We had a record number of students from the Capital Region this year. We also had a record number of students from UAlbany. Last year, one athlete went with us. This year, she brought two friends. All three met with Jesus and left more in love with Him. After the weekend, one said, "I realized how broken I am without Jesus. All I can do is praise Him." Another put a status on facebook that said, "had a wonderful weekend! Just praising the lord and meeting new friends that adore him as well. It was definitely a life changing experience and I can now say I feel so much closer to my savior, and so refreshed and re-energized."
It is at times like this when God helps me remember that the hard work is worth it. Jen and I are so thankful for the privilege to just be a small slice of God's plan for these students' lives. Thank you for walking and partnering with us.
