In the next couple of weeks, students at Discovery, along with incredible volunteers, are heading out to CIY Mix & CIY Move.  Christ in Youth, CIY, is a world-renowned organization that is sold out for students become disciple makers. The flagship of CIY are week-long summer camps that happen all across the country, with thousands of middle school and high school students, loud and engaging music, and just completely crazy games. It is a week where not a lot of sleep happens, but a lot of life change does.

I know there are so many stories around Discovery about how great CIY is and the crazy unexpected things that happen for example the pictures of me in a penguin outfit forever memorialized in digital photography:

But what if the greatest thing about CIY, the entire reason why we go, could start before we even get on the bus or last longer than a week? The entire reason why CIY is so great is that we focus on a single thing all week long, Jesus. Yes, Jesus. The entire reason why CIY is so great is that students are spending time interacting, exploring, and diving into a relationship with God. That experience can start now. So if you have a student I have a challenge for you, but even if you do not I have a challenge for you.
