I felt that CHIC was a great trip for me to go on. At first I was dreading the bus ride, but it was much shorter than I expected. When we got there, it seemed like the whole area had a great atmosphere. The first night we had a meeting in the UT stadium, and it was amazing how many people were there. As the week progressed, I found that there were many different things that I wanted to experience. There were some interesting seminars, which were always thought provoking and often enlightening. Afterwards, there were so many things that I wanted to do. Different activities, ranging from bowling to pickup soccer games, were all very entertaining and provided possibilities to meet a lot of new people. At night there were concerts and then several speakers would give a message. Combined with all of this was some excellent time spent with the church group and some other people we met. CHIC was a fun experience for me, and I hope that everyone else can have a similar (or better) experience than I had.

“At first, I wasn’t all that excited to go, but all of that changed on the first night at worship. All of the speakers were amazing, but Judy especially spoke to my heart. On tuesday night when we sat close to the stage on the floor was when God first started working on me. The message was about Jesus being no ordinary healer. As I went forward (with a friend) to kneel all the hurts and pain I;ve been through recently just be lifted! All I had to do was ask and God heard my prayers…
…the offering for the kids in Sudan was super cool. I gave what would have seemed like too much for me to give up before, but now i almost feel as if it wasn’t enough! Before CHIC my faith was off and on with its excitement, but now i know that’s not what i should be looking for… I feel very led into mission still, but now I know that i don’t have to fly all the way to South America to do God’s work! I gave up my actions to the guidance of the Holy Spirit and I’m so excited for the rest of my life because its already made a difference! …
…You better be ready for God to do some wonderful things through me because I sure am!”

It’s been said that cleanliness is next to Godliness. For the sake of all the people in this video, let’s hope that this doesn’t apply to dorm-life at CHIC.
