Why send your child to a spiritual retreat?

"I give you a new commandment: love one another. As I have loved you, so you also should love one another. This is how all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another." - John 13:34-35

The last few years have robbed our youth of many meaningful experiences. Their daily lives have been inundated with technology, and relationships have been diminished to TikTok videos, SnapChat and other social media.

We need to fight for the spiritual well-being of our children and free them from worldly despair. The Youth Encounter will give them the opportunity to be reminded of God's love - to know who they are and what they were made for by their Heavenly Father. The Encounter will revive your child in the Spirit of God. Their hearts will be filled with hope from the only source of true happiness - our Lord, Jesus Christ!

"Behold, I make all things new."
Revelations 21:5
