Dare to Prepare


I was honoured to speak at and take part in Riverwood Church Community's youth retreat recently. I was so encouraged to see the young people respond to God. What a great group of fantastic youth!

Our theme for the weekend was “Dare to Prepare," a topic focused on getting serious about our relationship with God. Twelve young people gave their life to Jesus that weekend and 55 made a recommitment and a decision to get back on track with God. Fifteen Bibles were given out to young people who wanted an easy-to-read LifeLight Scripture with helpful tips and reading plans. It was so amazing to see young people lining up to get a Bible! One young man was going through some serious struggles in life, was broken by God, and let Jesus back in to his life.  He realized that God has a plan and purpose for his life. Leaders prayed with their youth. It was a beautiful picture of the restoration process that only God can perform! We bless you for Partnering with LifeLight in God's great plan of salvation.  Your gifts make an eternity of difference!
