Teen Revival…
Revival is here and spreading like wildfire
By Kalista King 

There are numerous things to be excited about in Darke County, Ohio for this school year! We have begun the year with a bang as Greenville's friend2friend program started out the first meeting with an attendance of 30+ students and EUM church's youth group, "The Corner Shack" kicked off with 71 people! 

Teens from all over have been attending Corner Shack and Saturday Night Prayer, and to add to the excitement, Tri-Village is in the midst of starting their own friend2friend program as well! God is clearly at work and we are so thrilled to see what else He has in store for this year. 

Another thing that has gone on recently for the youth in Darke County is a new addition to the Illumination Festival going on today in Greenville. For those who are not familiar with Illumination, it is a Christian Rock Concert held at The Darke County Fairgrounds in Greenville, Ohio every year. 

This year the Illumination committee added a youth event the day before the actual Illumination Festival called Day One, which I talked about in my past article titled, "Set Me Free Skit to be Performed at Illumination." Day One was held in the youth building at the fairgrounds, and it included our local Christian Rock band, I Am Victorious, a powerful skit from EUM's skit team, testimonies, and national speaker, Mike Guzzardo who presented a message to the teens toward the end of the night. 

Since I have written this message on a Friday, I cannot say that I have attended this event yet, but I rest assured that it will be an incredible night for everyone.  

In my past article I said that we'd be performing our Set Me Free Skit at Day One because this was the original plan, but it turned out that our new skit fit even better with the Day One event so we decided to go with that. We have been practicing this new skit, which we call, The Battle Skit, for a while now, and we got a chance to perform it at our Corner Shack Kick off, and it was a huge success. 

If you have not read about our skit team, you can refer to past articles about the Set Me Free skit, which was a tremendous blessing and inspiration to us and many others last year. I am very happy to say that we have another opportunity to perform the Set Me Free skit yet again, and we will be performing it on the main stage today at Illumination! 

We are stoked to perform this skit today, and we are still in shock at how God has used it in such a big way. We are so blessed to even have this skit team to travel to different places and share the love of Christ with others. We cannot wait to do more skits this year and even start up an outreach team to travel and perform more skits as well as testimonies, songs, and whatever else we feel God is calling us to do.
