youth movement
By ZEKE McPherson
We’ll start the summer off
together in Peru on CMA Youth
Movement’s Mission 2020. This
trip is still open! If you are inter-
ested in going, please email
[email protected] at your ear-
liest convenience. The dates are
May 30-June 8. We will be travel-
ling into Lima, Peru and minister-
ing to many churches with young
people. We will do music, dramas,
sports, and just about anything
else we can think of to draw in
young people and point them to
Jesus. There is so much more to
this trip than I can express in a
few words in the HeartBeat .
Samantha and I will be leading
this trip, and we are excited to
serve together with those who
attend in Peru.
Next up, we have a few regional
events for CMA Youth Movement
happening in various places
around the country. We will have
more detailed information about
each of these events as it comes
out over the next few months.
SpringForth 2020
• This exciting Youth Movement
retreat started as a way to get
students back together after
Flame On to get to know each
other more and worship
together. It is an exciting
retreat filled with games, fun,
and the presence of Jesus. This
North Central Region event
happens in Wisconsin! For
more info, please contact Ben
and Rachel Larson at
[email protected].
Accelerate!
• The Rocky Mountain Region is
holding, for the first time ever,
a regional youth event of their
own. Accelerate happens in
Colorado, and is open to stu-
dents 12-18. Please reach out
to Richard and Andrika Ruiz for
more info,

Five Alive
• What used to be “Firecracker”
is transforming to a new kind
of Youth Movement get
together called Five Alive. This
event takes place in the
Northeast Region, and it is a
wonderful time of getting to
know each other, goofing off,
learning about Jesus, and
making real, long-lasting rela-
tionships. Please reach out to
Mike and Stacey Griffin for
more info,
[email protected].
Finally, we have the official LLMX
Mission Trip to the MX track at
Loretta Lynn’s Ranch in
Tennessee. Registration for that
mission trip is open, so please
check your calendar and see if
you can come! Adults and stu-
dents are both welcome; adults in
attendance must have their
Ministry-to-Minors Sticker from
CMA National. The family plan is
also returning this year! Bring
your family group or youth group
of four for a discounted total cost.
We look forward to connecting
with you over the next several
months! God bless you as you
plan for this year’s amazing
events! CMA

Movement there is
