What a great weekend we had!
The camp was full with nearly 100 teens and adults, and another 40 kids all being presented with a Creation-to-Christ overview of the gospel! We were all pretty tired after the weekend, but it was a blessing to be a part of it. We’ve already started inviting people to the next one in November as it is laid on our hearts.
Thank you for your prayers for this weekend! It is a life changing event for many of the people attending, and it is a joy to read their testimonies at the end about how the clear and simple teaching of the gospel message has impacted them. We are thankful for a number of volunteers, some from the youth group where Naomi is a leader, who came and helped her as she taught those 40 kids. We’re also so thankful for the sponsors who make the weekend freely available to those who come.


Highlights
Here is some of the encouraging feedback, some from people who have gone to church for a long time but never quite understood the message of the Bible.
“I have been a believer for 10 years now and it’s funny that none of the churches I have attended in all the years have ever cleared up the question of salvation, sin and how we are able to be righteous in God’s eyes.”
“From an early age I came to despise Christianity as it was constantly pumped into me that I was destined for Hell. HELL HELL HELL!!! As an adult I lived without church/the Bible but the need (longing in my heart) for Jesus remained. This weekend provided me with what my open heart was unable to provide…UNDERSTANDING. 37 years of missing pieces have fallen into place. Thank you!!”
“Before: I feared and was confused by the Old Testament, so I avoided it.
After: Thank you for explaining the OT (which I had tried to avoid) in a way which helps explain how it points to Jesus.”
“The wknd was amazing. When we got home, we’ve had so many interesting and cool conversations. My most crankiest kid told me that “I finally understand that God loves me.” I’m so incredibly thankful for the NOW event, it’s legit life-changing.”
“No Ordinary Weekend!!! WOW.
It has been indeed a delightful learning experience. I had a fairly good understanding of God’s Word, however I had not “tied together” all the Old Testament prophecies with the New Testament fulfilments until this weekend.”
“I thought to pray, be grateful, be kind… was good enough. Yikes. What an eye opener. Because I am a good person, I would surely enter the pearly gates of Heaven… Gosh, this has been an eye opening weekend where God has here yet again extended his grace and mercy upon me…”
“I honestly think everyone should read this book and attend No Ordinary Weekend, whether they believe or not! Incredible and life changing information – literally!”
From a man from who came to NOW from a couple provinces over:
“My goal is to bring a greyhound bus full to NOW. “
Thank you for your prayers for our family and ministry.
