Our youth groups name is Crossfire Youth Ministries. And this is our first experience at Teen Quest in Pennsylvania and we loved it. We had the greatest time.
“Because you are sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, the Spirit who calls out, “Abba, Father.” So you are no longer a slave, but a son; and since you are a son, God has made you also an heir.” Galatians 4:6 &7
-New International Version

Angie Polyblank
Angie Polyblank, from Mt. Pleasant, Pennsylvania, has been the cook at Teen Quest ranch for the last 23 years.
Angie began to form a relationship with Christ when she attended a Youth for Christ camp in Canandaigua, New York. She was 14 when she accepted Christ into her life.
Hey Everyone,
I’m not even sure which update this is. Sorry for the delay, but we
have been running like crazy. On Sunday we went to the Salvation Army
and did some skits for the homeless. Our skits really did a great job
of explaining how sin holds us in bondage. Devin opened the time in
prayer, Anna read a small Bible passage to the homeless, and all of us
were in the skits. Afterward, I got the opportunity to share my
testimony with the crowd while an interpreter translated. We heard
some amazing stories. We spoke with a guy who was covered in stab
wounds. I had the opportunity to speak with and pray with a man who
has been clean from crystal meth and living for the Lord for several
months. He lost his job, money, and marriage years ago because of
this addiction, but God has been working to reconcile those
relationships and give him peace about his situation.
Hey Everyone,
We have just experienced our first full day in Costa Rica. We arrived
at the base late last night (around 11:00 PM). The time change was a
bit strange. They do not have day light savings time in Costa Rica.
For some reason we are a half hour behind the East Coast. It’s a bit
different.
Hey Everyone,
They say in missions you need to expect the unexpected. When we were
20 minutes outside of Dulles Airport, we found out our flight was
canceled. We won’t be leaving Virginia until 12:10 PM tomorrow
(Friday the 18th).
We need you to sponsor a student today! Students are coming to the Teen Quest Ranch this summer who really need Jesus! They need to hear that He offers them love and forgiveness. As you can see from the statistics listed, the American family has fallen apart; drug use is growing; pornography is on the rise; promiscuity has become the norm and suicides are epidemic.
In Matthew 5:37 Christ urged His followers towards honesty. “Simply let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No,’ ‘No’; anything beyond this comes from the evil one.” Why is it that we have forgotten that?
From what I hear, a handshake was all you needed to seal a deal back in my grandparents’ day. But apparently the early Christian’s didn’t have this same example of honesty to live up to. In fact a smarter guy whose blog I read before typing this one said, “The Pharisees interpreted” the Old Testament Law “to mean that ONLY when you made an oath did you have to tell the truth, and even then, it only had to be a certain kind of oath. That is not at all what God meant.”
Where is it that we started to cross our fingers behind our backs? Why do we need to have countless pages of agreements, contracts, and legal documents to get each other to stick to our word?
My boss bought us a grill for our wedding. We’re celebrating our second anniversary on the 17th, so I felt it was time to put it to some use. Three days ago I went into our basement and pulled everything out that I needed. After washing a spider web and its eight-legged inhabitant off the grill and down our shower drain, I went outside and began my adventure.
