Winter Blast 2025

We had an great turnout for Winter Blast, with 34 kids joining us on Friday night and from noon to 10 PM on Saturday! Young Life staff traveled from Ketchikan and Wasilla to help make the weekend special. We gathered at Sitka Assembly of God, with delicious meals and snacks provided by generous individuals, by the Episcopal Church, by Sitka Christian Center, and along with generous donations from Sea Mart.

Jonna and Ken from Wasilla kept us laughing with their hilarious skit as “fashion rain gear designers,” getting the kids involved in a variety of fun games. Spenser from Ketchikan Young Life led us in singing, and Aaron shared three messages breaking down the story of the Prodigal Son from Luke 15. After each talk, Emily, Iris, and Ken shared parts of their own stories—describing life before they knew God, how God met them, and how God is transforming their minds and hearts. Their stories were a highlight!

The weekend was packed with unforgettable moments, from Silent Disco and field games to "Bigger and Better" and the ultimate night game, "Grog." Both kids and leaders walked away encouraged, and many took meaningful steps of faith.

Thank you for your prayers, support, and for being part of the team as we reach out to Sitka and beyond!

We Blasted

 

This past weekend was so great! In so many ways God showed up and we all had a wonderful time. There were so many games and stories, so much laughter, and so many ways for leaders to share God's love in many activities- whether through sharing life stories or playing cards.  Thank you so much for your prayers and support!
