WELCOME TO THE WILD, WILD WEST...

We got to speak at a youth retreat in North Carolina while we were home for the holidays! There were over 100 young people there for the week with the theme being WANTED (a western theme). We spoke for 6 sessions on different aspects of our lives that God wants... YOU, YOUR FREEDOM, YOUR RELATIONSHIP, YOUR LIFE, YOUR SERVICE, and YOUR WITNESS.

Instead of us telling you what God did at Youth Tremors, here are a few testimonies from the youth themselves of what God is doing in their lives...

"I just wanted to say how much I appreciated you and your husband speaking at Tremors! You guys were amazing and I felt truly blessed and touched by God. I feel so close to Him now and I know it is because God spoke to me through you and your husband. I really enjoyed listening and seeing how God has worked in your life. Thanks so much!"

"I just wanted to thank you and David for speaking at Tremors this week. You both helped me grow so much closer to God, and you two helped me find ways to keep on a straight path with Him."

"I've never heard so many positive comments from the kids about how they loved the speakers. Y'all were just great and really spoke to a lot of their hearts, including mine. I'm happy to say that a week into the new year my walk with God seems so much stronger."
