12 Days until California 2013 ... Introducing Jerel Peters

Hi, my name is Jerel Peters. I live in Ponoka and have been working with Wolf Creek Youth Unlimited since 2003. I never wrote a book, starred in a movie, or sang a song in tune, but I love my family, my God, and seeing the hope and potential in youth! My wife Katie and I have three beautiful children and one on the way that we can't wait to meet this summer. I love hockey, coffee, games, talking, and ... well, I love a lot of things actually. I am so excited to start our trip to California! Only 12 days until we leave!

The CONTEST Begins NOW!

The contest is officially on ... With just 13 days to go until our departure time is going to go by fast! Which means we need to get creative to bring in those socks donations before we have to go. Print off the poster ... find a class, a school, a store, a group, a Church ... anywhere you can and get those sock donations in before we leave. Sock donations can be brought on the day of departure. So, how do you win the contest? Well we have some special prizes (iTunes $, Fast Food $, Candy, and so much more) for the trip so:

1. Collect Socks.
2. Count the total number of socks.
3. Bring them with you on March 20 in a separate bag (not with your luggage)
4. Whoever brings the most socks wins a prize!

That's not all ... Send us something about you preparing for the trip and you also could win a prize. With the long bus drive, this will be a welcome reward! Email your thoughts, pictures, or comments to jerel@wcyu.org. It could be a picture of you packing or even a thought for the trip, maybe just something you are looking forward to. Share it with us and we will share it here with the team and you will be entered to win!

Union Rescue Mission

This email came today from Union Rescue Mission ... Good food for thought in preparation for our trip there in three weeks. To read more go to www.youarethemission.org

California 2013

In just 26 days a team of students and leaders with Youth Unlimited from around Central Alberta will embark on the California 2013 Mission Trip. The next few weeks are busy with the final preparations as students try to wrap up their fundraising and begin thinking about the opportunities to impact poverty, develop friendships, and experience a tangible demonstration of faith and the Gospel. Join us at our Mission's Blog, as we share our experiences and our journey.
