Encounter Weekend

As my daughter Zion says, "OH MY GOODNESS!" Encounter Weekend was off the hook this last Friday - Sunday! We had almost 50+ students come out for a life changing Encounter with God! Friday night we did worship and the Lord opened the door for ministry and for us to lay hands on the student and speak life into them! The Holy Spirit was moving and speaking to teenagers and calling them to step up and be a leader in their generation! We had an amazing time playing games, eating, laughing, and most importantly connecting with God and His presence!!! Students were sharing their testimonies left and right about what God was doing in them throughout the whole weekend! We taught them about having a quiet time, what it means to step out of the world and into Jesus and what happens when we step out of Jesus and into the world! It was truly an amazing weekend! ALL of our adult leaders did a great job with connecting with the students and doing what it took to put on a weekend like this! Sunday we all came to 2nd service and stayed after for lunch. We invited ALL the parents of teenagers to have lunch with us as the students shared testimonies of what God did over the weekend! We had almost 100 people in the cafe crammed together it was great!

I think I am rested from the weekend but I guess I'll sleep when I die! God is doing off the charts stuff here @ Journey and with our students! It is great to be a part of such a life giving and life breathing church!
