Hello brothers and sisters! My name is Jack Costello, I'm 17 from sunny San Diego, a senior in high school, and this was my first conference as a disciple. I was baptized July 10th, 2009 and the ICMC West was a great way to start my spiritual life. 
Besides a trip to Disney Land, the lessons on taking a challenge for Jesus and victory over converting atheists and family members really convicted me. Both of my parents are Atheists and are always trying to belittle my faith and spirituality for God so it was a great chance to get in touch with how to deal with it, and be around amazing people, all living to please God. a scripture that really helped me is 1 Thessalonians 4:17-18 and it says "After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever. Therefore encourage each other with these words." so with that be encouraged that we have a chance to survive with the Lord, and i'll be seeing you in the clouds!
Love, your faithful Brother,
Jack Costello

What if this was your first ever campus conference? What if you were just baptized and you want to share with others how this conference impacted you? What would you do? You would want to share it. Our brother does just that as he shares what his first ICMC meant to him.
