Happenings from TEC… (TEC= Teens Encounter Christ)

• Redacted re-committed their life to God
• Redacted re-committed their life to God, and God changed them so much that weekend!  It is just awesome to see how different they are. They are so confident in their abilities and they have made a bunch of Christian friends to help them in their journey. They’re confident in their musical ability and they can’t wait to use their talent for God at the next TEC. Redacted has been so happy ever since God touched him at TEC. And then, redacted thanked me for bringing them. I know it wasn’t me at all. I know it was you God who made me so persistent and having them come so you could touch them there. It’s all your plan and it’s amazing to see how you work every thing together. But, it was so cool how you work through me to help my friend grow so much closer to you. Thanks for choosing to use me!
• Redacted had a great time. They really felt your love from everyone there, and they never wanted to leave. They found you there and that’s awesome!
• Redacted tried for the first time in forever, showing how much you really touched them. You have helped them improve their relationship with their father and now feel as if they have an Earthly father as well as a Heavenly Father!
• Redacted found a way to use their musical talents for you! Now they can’t wait until the next TEC where they can play for you.
• And then there’s me. Wow! At TEC you helped me move out of my comfort zone and help we meet so many other people even though I was on kitchen. This time, I didn’t feel left out, I felt loved, and I know that I truly was / am loved. More importantly, I grew in you. I took my first communion at TEC, and I can’t think of a better place. You touched me so much that I couldn’t stop crying. I know that was because for the first time I was officially a member of a community, which I have needed for years. You had me show my emotions, which I used to view as a sign of weakness and even request a hug from redacted. I never ask people for help and I have a big problem with that, but you helped me to open up. Then, when we went to see that music video, you showed me the picture of how much you love me by dying on the cross. Since we are reading this book, He Chose the Nails, I am seeing how much you did just for me, and that music video put my readings into a visual form, which was hard to swallow. All that, you did for me. And seeing it, it is amazing and overwhelming. You were there and it hit me really hard.  I started shaking. Even now it’s so, Wow, you went through all that just for me? You love me that much and that’s what the video showed me. It was a really cool experience. Then, before the weekend even started and everyone had friends, I felt so left out. But, redacted was so nice to me. Thank you for them because I know you put them in my life so I wouldn’t give up on TEC. It’s awesome how you put everyone and everything together in your plan for me. TEC was just so awesome because you helped me. Thanks!
