Undone

WELCOME to the CHIC team! You play a critical role in making CHIC possible. We are thankful for the countless hours that you give to make this ministry possible for students. In a few months, CHIC 2009, UNDONE, will be upon us. We want to THANK YOU for sharing CHIC with students, parents, and your congregations as well as planning and fundraising for this ministry event. Thank you for coming alongside students as we consider what it means to be UNDONE!

UNDONE - it is an interesting thing to come in contact with the divine, for God does seem to undo the things that we have spent so much of our lives doing. The brilliant thing about that encounter is that after God has undone our work we are empowered to do all the undone work of the Kingdom.

CHIC’s purpose is to call a generation of students to invite Christ into their lives, to become like Christ, and to serve Christ every single day. We are on a journey as we follow Christ; a journey that is not yet complete, we are undone. We will learn together what it means to be on this journey toward completeness in Christ, and the fact that we are still undone is okay. The journey will not be easy, but we are all on this journey together.

CHIC 2009 will be held at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville, Tennessee from July 12-17, 2009. The CHIC Council, youth leaders, and volunteers from across the country are partnering together to make this ministry an important time of growth for each student and leader involved. Whether CHIC provides the first step of faith, or helps to pave the way toward the next significant leap in their discipleship journey, this will be a time when we come together to explore what it means to be UNDONE.
