In their words

From those who have been.

I came expecting a nice weekend. I left carrying a deeper sense of what God is doing in places I had never thought to pray for.

Karen M.
Attendee, 2024 + 2025 Summits

Hearing from the brothers and sisters on the field rearranged my priorities. We haven't been the same since.

Daniel & Ruth H.
First-time attendees, 2025

The worship, the stories, the quiet time — all of it pointed away from us and toward Him. That's the whole point.
