Student retreat Nov 6-8.


We had a very encouraging weekend with over 120 student. This is the largest number of students (both high school and campus) coming to these weekends. Once a semester we have this special gathering to deepen the students’ commitment in their walk with God, to grow their knowledge of the Bible, encourage them in their faith, worship together and enjoy fellowship. It was a fantastic weekend with lot of fun. Of course sometimes it happens that non-Christian students are coming to these weekends. This was the case at this weekend, too. The theme for the retreat was "Is Jesus enough?" Throughout the weekend students were challenged to trust Christ fully, maybe for the first time in their life.

One of the students, Adam, took a huge step forward this weekend. During the last meeting of the weekend he stood up before the entire audience and said, "I made a decision to become a Christian today!" Everybody began to clap and cheer for him. It was a terrific way for the retreat to come to an end.
