Testimonials

I have found this event to have been such a spiritual uplift for the young people who have

attended, seeing them growing in God. (Corps Officer)

Great week for the young people to come together. It gives them a chance to talk through issues with other Christian teenagers and realise

that they are not alone. (Parent)

I always find the event great at getting the word of God across and touching peoples lives and think has happened on a number of occasions. For myself I find the musical aspect very significant in doing this and I’m sure a number

of others do (Current Delegate)

It enables those especially from a smaller Corps to take part in musical sections/drama that they may not otherwise be able to take part in. Encourages friendship, spiritual maturity

(Current staff member)

Every year gets better and it’s definitely the best week of the year. I feel so on fire for God after the week and I always come back home

feeling closer to Him. (current Delegate)
