Testimonies

"My parents were after me for several months about going to some 'Teens Encounter Christ' thing. I would politely skirt around the subject every time. I'd done the whole weekend retreat deal several times, and I just wasn't interested in another weekend high. Once there, I was astounded by the impact the weekend, as a whole, had on me. The entire time I truly felt a new joy of the Lord that had been lacking for a long time. I was truly touched in my time there. Besides my impacting encounter with Christ, I met amazing people, formed great friendships, and did an incredible amount of singing, laughing, and crying."

"My experience at T.E.C. was so awesome that words can not even explain how great it is. I encourage everyone to go. Before I went I was not in touch with the Lord. Before I went, I went through seasonal depression and smoked and drank. I thank God every day for taking away my temptations."
