Our eighth edition of SEVEN came to a conclusion last Tuesday. Over 350 young people signed up for the course that once again helped answer many questions related to our faith and how it gives sense to our lives.
The culmination happened during the 3 day residential weekend-away titled ‘The Best is Yet to Come’ during which the participants had the opportunity to personally experience what had been spoken of during the rest of the sessions; God’s Fatherly love for each and every one of us.
Many gave testimony to the loving, healing and life-giving Presence of the Lord through the power of the Holy Spirit which they experienced for themselves during this weekend.
Here’s what some of the participants had to say about their experience of SEVEN…..
