Winter Meltdown has begun! As interns we have now experienced an entire week of summer camp in ONE weekend. Winter Meltdown is a weekend where churches bring their youth groups and the River Valley Ranch Staff runs the program. It is full of fun and energy. We have set up for games and been a part of different skits and dramas included in the services. The kids have really seemed to enjoy reflecting on their “journey” with God. It has been an awesome opportunity to see and be a part of a programmed retreat. We have also had worship led by the band Ashes Remain. The interns actually put on a skit to a Lifehouse song "everything". In the skit a girl is a tempted by several of the things of the world and yet when she cries out to Jesus he is there to take on all the temptations and offer redemption.
Zack is in the role of Jesus. Melody plays the girl who is tempted, torn, and redeemed. Morgan's role is as a tempter with wealth and success. Ben and Betsy demonstrate the temptations of drugs and alcohol. Katie symbolizes vanity and distortion of self image. Biz is a demon who tempts with cutting and suicide. This drama illustrates the struggles that keep youth in bondage to sin and the fight for freedom.
