Two thousand years ago, Jesus led a revolutionary life...

• He demonstrated intimacy with and dependence on God.
• He faced temptation yet he was completely obedient to His Father.
• He lived, suffered and served in the context of community.
• He boldly challenged, loved, served and led others in their quest toward God.
• He stood for justice, freedom, love and life transformation – all in the context of truth.
• He called his disciples to count the cost and radically follow Him.
• He invested his life developing others who would continue the revolution in their own unique ways.

Jesus finished well and left this world with a compelling call for revolution – an internal spiritual revolution that transforms our hearts, minds, and spirit while overflowing into the external transformation and revolution of our world.

Following Jesus’ call to internal revolution and external transformation, our theme and prayer for 2003-4 is TOTAL REVOLUTION. The TOTAL REVOLUTION theme will provide the foundation for our Avalanche, Blizzard and Encounter retreats.

In addition, to assist local youth ministries, we have developed 6 unique curriculum components (total of approx. 40 weeks) suitable for youth ministry small groups, Sunday school and bible studies. Leader’s notes, small group questions and reproducible handouts are included for each week.

Total Revolution looks at part of the CBOQ Youth vision: Christ-like in character.

Curriculum Modules:

• TOTAL REVOLUTION in ME (from independence to interdependence, from relativism to knowledge of God, from my world to God’s world, from material value to spiritual value. We will help students understand the revolution of worldview called for in the Scriptures.) 
• TOTAL REVOLUTION of IDENTITY (identity components of ‘being’ (intimacy with God), character, community and ‘doing’ (servant leader and sharing our faith as an ambassador))
• TOTAL REVOLUTION of VALUES (fruit of the Spirit (love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness and self-control) presented as biblical values in contrast to the corresponding values of our sinful nature)
• TOTAL REVOLUTION of PURPOSE (discovering purpose in life)
• TOTAL REVOLUTION in OUR WORLD (looking at, dreaming about and moving towards the Kingdom of God on this earth)
• Characteristics of a KINGOM REVOLUTIONARY (defined as somebody who lives like Jesus lived)
