# 👑 Leaders Rise Up!
|
||||
At TFC, we do our best to make sure teens become a lot more than just Christians. Being a Christian is great, but a lot of the time, teenagers have a sense for authenticity in people. This makes many of them skeptical of things like Christianity and such when they see some people act one way at Church and another way out in the community. Often, this puts a bad taste in the mouths of teens when it comes to Christianity. Our hope and prayer is that we can create leaders out of teens who exemplify integrity instead. One way we do this is through Leadership Retreat!
|
||||
|
||||
Every fall, most people get excited about trees changing colors, falling leaves, sweaters, and pumpkin spice lattes. I get excited about Leadership Retreat. When I was a teen in TFC, Leadership Retreat was this haven of rest and Jesus. I loved it. I loved that I could take a break from school and just enjoy my TFC friends and getting to know Jesus more! For a whole weekend, we ask teens to stop from the busyness of life and come to learn about being a leader.
|
||||
|
||||
This year, we asked them to take that calling VERY seriously! Leaders for Christ are sorely missing in our world, and we wanted to help the teens prepare themselves for what they could face should they begin to truly stand up for Christ. So, we challenged them on being a real leader. One who isn't like those many who lack integrity and clearly aren't authentic about their faith, but instead who put such a central and clear trust in Jesus that no matter the filth that our world might throw at them, they'll be ready!
|
||||
|
||||
We talked a lot about the persecuted church and wanted them to feel ultimately prepared for what may happen in their lifetime. We asked them to care for each other in such a way that even if their world looks more and more like those persecuted Christians, they'll be able to bear the weight of it, with the help of others! Finally, we also wanted them to just be refreshed. Like I said, Leadership Retreat is a place of rest, and we wanted them to still feel that, so we gave them a lot of time to just rest in Jesus's peace and the company of each other, praying that God uses that to ensure they are prepared moving forward.

||||

# 😲 So. Many. Events.
|
||||
On top of Leadership Retreat, we had many things going on this month! At the very beginning of the month, we celebrated TFC's 45th year as a ministry! And right after Leadership Retreat, we held another 180 Encounter, our special gatherings of all TFC groups!
|
||||
|
||||
At the 45th, TFC was so incredibly blessed to just celebrate with so many people who've just helped to make TFC what it is! Many alumni and volunteers and staff who have moved on came back to Phillipsburg to see what's been happening in the ministry and just celebrate those memories of how TFC was used by God in big ways in their lives! And oh man it is a blast to sit with friends recalling all the goofy things we did in our years as TFC students! But ultimately, that's all because of Jesus! Jesus created the ministry of TFC and called all these folks together in the first place. Then it's only through Him that we bond in those friendships that have lasted so long. All of it is because of Jesus.
|
||||
|
||||
Then bringing kids together to watch those friendships blossom at our 180 Encounter is just a blast! We brought 6 kids to the 180 this month, and they loved it so much they asked when the next one is before we got home! Keep praying that those friendships will draw more students to Jesus and convince of His great love for them!

At TFC this year, we are planning on moving things back to Almena and inviting highschoolers back to TFC. The goal is to continue building our group back into that family of God that I was describing. It's our prayer that we can get back to having a regular JH and HS group coming and pouring into teens, just like Jesus does. That being said, we are in need of adults. If you are available on Wednesday nights, please prayerfully consider being a part of NVTFC by contacting me at: 785-302-1664. We need some other adults, especially as we have highschoolers again.
|
||||
|
||||
Also, if you are interested in cooking for TFC, please let me know as Abbie has 3 goofy kids and one just a few months old this year, so she won't have the time to cook this year!
|
||||
|
||||
Finally, thank you all for praying for us over the summer months! It's because of your financial support and prayers that Abbie and I can do this! We are SO grateful for you all!

The past months have been VERY busy! With TFC Camp, Chris was gone and Ty was just 2 months old! Right after camp, we tried to get back to feeling normal, but then went to Colorado for a vacation with our kids! It was such a great little trip! We may have not been on a lot of hikes, but where we did go and enjoy with our kids was a lot of fun! It was healing for our family! Now we've been sending Josiah to preschool too!

This month has been quite crazy, and yet, not much has been done in TFC land. Just, ya know, two mission trips, a staff retreat to work on our plans for the next year, and a whole lot of TFC camp planning! We just made part of the rules video, and I've been working on my seminar for camp too. But most of this month has been spent celebrating the incredible new addition to our family! Welcome Titus Lawrence Cochrun! We are calling him Ty, and boy has he been fun and tiring!
|
||||
|
||||
And that's the thing with this job, it's a lot of the same thing as raising kids and having a family. There are a lot of very exhausting things that happen all the time. Just the last few nights, at some point, I've had to get up and grab Ty and rock him back to sleep. And on occasion, I've fallen asleep in the rocking chair trying to get him to sleep! Then there are those moments that just exhaust you mentally. Like when Luke, who is quite potty-trained, can't quite make it to the toilet in time. Every. Single. Morning. It's become a bit of a routine too! Or when Luke thinks it's time to wake up in the morning and it isn't... I tell him he's supposed to wait until the fan turns off in his room. But he decides he'll just turn it off himself! "My fan is off!" "No, I meant that you have to wait for it to shut off on its own!" The goofy kids are exhausting.

It's an eerily similar story for teens in our ministry. TFC's whole goal is to change the world from the heart of America by providing disciple-making opportunities that serve communities where student ministries are limited. And we do that by connecting teens with the truth of Jesus Christ…teaching and equipping them to live out the Great Commission. It's our heartbeat to make disciples, and for Abbie and I, that means our children as well. And it's a perfect every-day practice to be able to do that better with teenagers as well.

We have lost a week from normal because of how schools around here are starting earlier, so please pray we have the time to get everything ready!
