Audacious Youth

Last year N:r-gize (our youth group) went to the Ultimate youth camp. This year they decided to be audacious!  Audacious is an amazing youth event that was held in Portsmouth. It was a week of worship, teaching and fun which everyone massively enjoyed. Here are some quotes from those who went…

“I never knew how much strength you can draw from God – getting down on your knees to worship, it’s just so amazing.  I see that God is really moving in England.  Don’t just lie back and take life as it is – I want to do things I’ve never done before and I feel God has given me strength!”

“I’m a Christian and I’m not going to stay in the shadows any more!”

“An amazing time for me!  I went to a different level with my worship – if you really go for it, rise up, sing and worship, it’s amazing, I don’t know how to explain it!”

“I grew stronger with the Holy Spirit and it has really touched me – I learnt how to cope with life”

“It really changed my life.  I realise I sometimes hang out with the wrong crowd and it will lead me down the wrong path, now I realise what the right path is.”

“I have really grown and for the first time in my life I got an answer from praying!”

“I was filled and my eyes were opened, I saw the world in a different light and Jesus is the only salvation.”

 

After returning to the church in Birmingham, N:r-gize led our next evening service. To see how they got on take a look at this video.  We’ve also put a few clips from Audacious on YouTube to give you an idea of what it was like.
