Youth Convention.



First Youth Convention experience = epic! Phil Wickham = epic! Leeland = epic! The weekend as a whole = epic! Going into this weekend I really didn’t know what to expect, this time I was not a student, I was a leader meaning I had a responsibility; I had to be in control. This scared me a bit, but at the same time I liked the thought of having a group of girls that I got to watch over, that I got to hang out and connect with. Although I didn’t know what to expect from this weekend I did know that something amazing was bound to happen, whether it be to me or to fellow students and leaders on the trip. I knew God was going to work through people and transform lives and man did he ever!

The worship for the weekend was led by Phil Wickham, and when I tell you he did an amazing job, I truly mean he did an amazing job. The speakers varied, each individual had a great message, and between them all they each made some point or remark that touched my heart in a big way. I was able to make a connection to the messages in my own life, some of the things I really needed to hear.

The first night as I sat in the audience I was able to witness hundreds of students crowd the front and give their life to Jesus, whether it be for the first time or a rededication, that night people came and gave their lives to Jesus and it was the most amazing thing I got to see, I was overcome with joy. Praise God! I can only hope and pray that after that weekend, once the spiritual high fades these students will continue to follow God, continue to walk in his path, continue to live like Jesus. I thank God for an amazing weekend, I thank God for touching the hearts of many people, I thank God for transforming lives.
