"We have felt encouraged and challenged. It has felt like a 10-day feasting of God's Word and His truths and it just fills me and humbles me and strengthens me. To God be the glory!"
Testimonies of God @ Work...
In a clear conscience...
This man was convicted in many areas of his life, but especially in the area of his past. "There was...a time in my life before I was saved where I had cheated in three different classes in college. I did not realize that this was still displeasing to God...because it was before I was saved. Therefore, I have purposed in my heart to go to these men and seek their forgiveness."
In a wife and mother…
"I feel as if my relationship with Christ has been taken to a much deeper level because of all I've learned. I am more aware of the ways I have not been submissive to my husband—to the point that I was blatantly defiant toward him in front of our children just two days ago. I had such a horrible day all the next day; it bothered my spirit so much that I found myself asking for my husband's forgiveness yesterday evening and explaining what I had done wrong to my children and asking their forgiveness as well. That has never been part of my normal nature and I thank God that He has made me more sensitive to my husband's need for respect. I pray it will make my marriage stronger. I am inspired to spend more time in the Word, more time in sincere prayer, to be the best wife and mother and daughter of Christ that I can be with the Lord's grace!"
In encouragement...
"it has been refreshing...we have had a difficult year in ministry this past year, and the Lord Jesus has been so faithful. It has been a time of great trials and purifying in our lives. We have sought Him and cried out to Him and He is so trustworthy. The timing of this Summit has been an absolute Divine gift from God!"

In teens…
"Life action has definitely brought the truth to my eyes. I've realized how ungodly my heart truly is and what I need to do to change my ways. I never quite understood who the Lord really is until now. He is SO much more than just the "spiritual" things. Knowing the Lord is profitable in EVERY aspect of our lives."
In children…
Dear God,
Thank You for teaching me…
"that not only do I need to have a bible but I need to read it and use it. I also learned I need to really reflect on the lessons...I learned to have God as my # one subject. I learned how I praise people in a sport and have never taken the time to praise God for His holiness. I have learned that the people you hang out with can reflect in you and you need to have the fruits of the spirit and not deeds of the flesh because it might be a problem because something small can turn into something very big. And the smallest sin can still pull you down."
"to be kind, and also please help me to be nicer. Also help me to focus on you. Also thank you for teaching me that I need to let go of the worldly things and follow you. Help me to be a better Christian. Help me to teach others about you."
