Student retreat


On the first weekend of April we had the usual Student Retreat at Csilleberc (this is a place where during communist only the good young communists could come for a retreat - it’s ironic that now we can have a Christian Retreat there where God’s name couldn’t be mentioned). This weekend is much-waited by the students and brings renewal in their walk with God. The teachings, the worship, the fellowship, the opportunity for deep, personal conversations and the fun give a great deal of encouragement for these young believers. About 80 students came for this weekend (and 6 of them were non-Christians). Ronnie Stevens was speaking on Friday night on the Characteristics of a Radical Christian. Saturday Gabor, our National Director continued the subject in his talk by giving practical examples from the Bible and from history of Radical Christians. We’ve had 3 special guests for this weekend, the Board of YTL. (The members of the Board serve YTL with their leadership expertise.) It was very helpful for the students to hear stories from these 3 brothers who have been proving themselves in leadership in the professional world on how to represent Christ in a secular environment and be a leader according to God’s desire.
