Mind the Gap!!

How y'all doing? This is Jacob Ortega by the way. Our team just had our 8th Lifenight cleverly titled, "Mind the Gap". We played a pretty awesome game called river crossing, but we decided to make it even more EXTREME and called it LAVA CROSSING!!!! The whole object of the game is to get to heaven by crossing the burning lava while holding onto some rope that connects you to your team. But if you let go of the rope, you get swept away and you and your team have to start all over!!!) You have to use the stones to get across, but there is only a limited amount of stones and if anyone loses contact with a stone, it can be grabbed and taken away by the LAVA MONSTERS!!!! (aka my teammate, Reed Miller, and I) Sound hard enough?!?! Well, there's more! If anyone is caught with there foot off the stone, the team has to start over, and we also decided to add a few obstacles!! Man! That was intense! It was a battle of the sexes, and... well... you know... the boys won!! But the girls did have them scared!

After the game, Reed gave a great talk on how Jesus came down to the earth and bridged the gap between us and God! By conquering sin and death, Jesus showed us the way back to our Father! We ended out night the same way we started it, with a prayer! Then we whipped out the Subway sandwiches!!! Which were delicious! Now we are looking to our next Lifenight, titled "Island Getaway", it's gonna be a lot of fun on the beach! Well, I'm gonna head on out, so take care and God Bless always! Peace!
