Break-Thru

So I experienced my first Break-Thru and I have to say that it was nothing short of amazing. It is truly a blessing to see young men and women experience God on a deep and personal level. For anyone who doesn’t know, Break-Thru is a Christmas retreat that takes place every year and Several churches from the southeast attend. The weekend is structured just like many of the retreats that I’m sure any of us have been to. However, the diligence and consciousness of the staff and retreat leaders created an environment in which the kids could be reached on a level that they needed to be spoken to. The speaker was Adam Robinson, who was spectacular, and the music was provided by men and women my age who grew up going to the retreat. I am honored to have been a part of such an amazing event. I was asked to be a small group leader for a trio of 12th grade boys. I was absolutely floored by the response of my guys to the message that was presented over the weekend. We have all decided to take the next step in our faith and I truly hope that we succeed.

peace-out
