We just had a wonderful retreat with about 14 nonChristians (22 people total) where we discussed “Who is Jesus?” We met in Gatlinburg, where we combined Bible study and fun.

MK is now meeting with two more women who wanted to learn the Bible stories!

“The best part was the Bible studies” said one new Christian. He led a small group for the first time.

“It was a perfect retreat, I wouldn’t change anything” said one seeker.

In small groups seekers expressed their concerns about hell. Young Christians sharpened their apologetic skills.

One woman shared her mother gave her a cross necklace, meaning that she had her mom’s approval to learn about Christianity.

Another young man publicly shared how he didn’t want to be converted, yet he had chosen to come to the retreat which we had prominently advertised the Bible studies. He had deep questions.

One young man called two days before, and said he would drive himself and sleep on the floor if needed, as we were already full! He did come, one person had canceled without telling us!

It was also a  great time working with coworkers from ISI (International Students Inc).

Wow! Thank you for your prayers to getting a great start to the year!
