Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! God answered so many of your prayers for us! We heard and saw miracle after miracle in hearts as the Holy Spirit transformed these young leaders. The most senior leader shared “this is by far the meaningful retreat I have ever attended!” Here are some more testimonies from this week.
“Forgiveness is very important, and that is one thing I’ve learned while I was here—that we must forgive, forgive and forgive.”
“I was never able to be still and listen to God. But during our listening time I got my answer! For the first time, I actually got my answer and know what God wants me to do next.”
“I was able to talk to someone, to open up to someone, and I had someone who would listen to me.”
“I want to thank the Lord for the Quiet Time. It has really made some noise in my life.”
Thank you again for your prayers and support for the 80 Young Life leaders we have trained to study God’s Word and to spend time listening to the Lord, i.e. not just talking to the Lord. Ask the Holy Spirit to help them remember the key lessons and to practice them this month so that they become habits. Pray that they will be even more fruitful as they share Jesus with thousands of teenagers this next year.
Our goal this year is to raise $70k to provide our spiritual formation retreats and evangelism camps in partnership with Young Life South Africa. Discussions have also begun regarding how we may serve other African nations with our spiritual formation retreats. God has opened this door so that Hearts for Eternity may assist these young leaders to have a relationship with the Lord that will not be broken despite the temptations and trials they will face. Thank you again for investing in our ministry so that we all may enjoy the spiritual fruit in Africa that will impact our Eternity together!
