CBOQ Youth is celebrating all that God accomplished through this year's Blizzard and Avalanche retreats.  Over 1600 students and leaders made their way to Muskoka Woods Sports Resort in Rosseau, Ontario to engage in worship, teaching and recreation over the last three weekends.  More than 50 students made commitments to Jesus Christ.

David Jervis, Jr. High Volunteer Leader at Harmony Baptist Church, said "The presence of God in a room of 589 tweens praising Him was tangible. He reached out to those who looked for Him and the joy reverberating through the room was palpable. God was in da' house! It would be impossible to ignore the Spirit of God that was evident throughout the weekend - we are so thankful for the prayers of our family and friends back home!"

CBOQ Youth would like to say "thank you so much" to all of the local churches who have partnered in these retreats for the last 10 years.  So many of our volunteer staff members on our retreats are products of the great ministry of your churches.  Thank you for allowing us to partner with you as we seek to encourage today's youth as they follow Jesus.

We look forward to seeing you at Blizzard/Avalanche 2011.

Your CBOQ family of friends.
