Our team is set for our High School/Young Adult Missions Trip to Alaska to serve at the Tanalian Bible Camp. We had our first planning meeting, and are now in the process of fundraising. We need to raise $1,000 per person with 10 people going.

We ask that you pray for our team, Tanalian Bible Camp, and the children we will be meeting this summer. Pray for God's guidance, safety, and open hearts as we strive to be God's hands and feet at the camp. If you have any questions, please contact myself, lydia@themacc.org, or Joe, joe@xrevolutionx.com.

Our April series for XREVOX Nights is LARP, which stands for Live Action Role Play. A LARP is when people come together, usually dressed in characters, for a reenactment/capture the flag-style game. As always with XREVOX, we have put our own spin on LARPing.

Our series is broken down into four weeks:

Live - Who is Your Character?

Action - Choose Your Weapon

Role - Who is Your Role Model?

Play - Go Out and Battle
