The No Ordinary Weekend for November is wrapped up, boxes of books are put away, we’ve caught up on sleep, and are now making plans for the next event. We had a really good weekend of teaching and talking to others, sharing meals with people and finding out where they are at spiritually. I had conversations with a few people who came at least once before, became believers and were excited to be back to review the life-changing gospel message again.

Here are a few of the testimonies from the weekend to encourage you:
Coming into this weekend, I was expecting to be brought into a place of “spiritual high,” like many other camps and retreats I’ve been to, but that’s not was happened. Rather, I am walking away with a spiritual understanding that is far greater than I could have ever been prepared for.

I never truly understood how we got into heaven. I always thought we would have to work harder for it. This was very helpful for me and my faith. Thanks for the amazing weekend.

It was so great to see the parallels from the Old and New Testament in an easy-to-understand presentation. I can’t wait to bring family and friends to this!

As a new Christian (baptized 2.5 years ago) the story of the Bible from start to finish was explained so well & helped me so much. The people involved, reading the passages from the Bible added so much and the things shown on front was amazing. ….everyone great!

I learnt so much about the prophecies and how they all show Jesus was sent to save us. Made me feel firm in my beliefs and hopefully help share more confidently with others.

Going through the booklets cleared my understanding of the message. That combined with the fellowship of other Christians at camp filled my heart with love and grace. In February of 2024, my first time at NOW, I was guided back to the Lord and gave my heart to Christ in the chapel here at camp. This weekend profoundly changed my life.
These weekend events are very helpful for us as well. Often we can feel disconnected here in the office, filling orders and doing work on the computer, but at these events we get to rub shoulders with people directly impacted by the ministry of GoodSeed. Thank you for partnering with us, which allows us to be a part of this.
