Recap of 2008 Fire In The Mountains Youth fest

Dear friends,

This year God's presence was at Fire In The Mountains in a real way. There were 14 first-time salvations; 36 people rededicated their lives to CHRIST; 9 were filled with the Holy Spririt and 11 were delivered from demonic activity in their lives. There were 398 in attendance; 298 were registered and 100 non-registered. Many were touched and changed after midnight on saturday that we have yet to hear from.

2008 was an awesome year for FITM and we are expecting this next year to be better than last year because it is GOD'S NATURE TO TAKE US FROM GLORY TO GLORY!!! We are working on an upcoming schedule of events and will post it on the events page. Meanwhile, check out the slideshow of some pics taken at this year's event on the media page.

In service for Jesus,
Pastor Mike Robinson

In 1990, God called Mike & Sandy Robinson into fulltime ministry in a little town called Friendsville, in the mountains of Western Maryland. God also gave them a mandate to reach the tri-state area (Maryland, Pennsylvania, & West Virginia), America, and the nations of the world. They have always had a heart for the lost and raising up the next generation. Several events led up to Fire In The Mountains Youth Fest in 2007:

• In 2005, Mike had the same short dream 7 times in one night. In the dream he was standing on a street corner in an American city poised with his finger in his Bible ready to preach. He was surrounded by people of all types from this generation. As soon as he would open his Bible someone would yell, "Put up or shut up preacher!" After praying about the dream, Mike sensed the Lord telling him to raise up people in this generaton who will put up and not shut up concerning the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Then he heard a challenging cry of this generation saying, "You show me a real Christian and I will believe there is a real Jesus."
• In 2005, Mike had a dream of a youth festival in the mountains of the tri-state.
• In the fall of 2006, during prayer for Fire In The Mountains, this directive came fourth:

The vision: Awakening this generation to spread the
Gospel of Jesus Christ throughout the world.

Theme for 2007: "Sound the alarm!"

Theme for 2008: "More flammable than before!"

The Vision - Triple AAA

A - Assemble
A - Awaken
A - Affect

Assemble:

• Students 13 years to college age
• Believers and non-believers
• We want youth groups to bring non-believers
• We want churches, ministers, and businesses to partner with us

Awaken:

• The unsaved to get saved to the bone - Hebrews 7:29 -"Therefore He is able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him....."
• The sleeping saved so they will awaken to the purposes of God for their lives and those around them.

Affect:

• To go and change the world for God's glory!

We believe there are students who will attend Fire In The Mountains Youth Fest who will not go back to high school or college the same. They will not sit on their faith. They will stand up and make a difference!!
