“Did not our hearts burn within us while he talked to us on the road, while he opened to us the scriptures”—Luke 24:32 (ESV)
The Synopsis:
The Campus for Christ Winter Conference (Encounter) is a five-day annual event that allows students from across Eastern Canada to gather and give glory to God in an intense way. Throughout the Conference, there were multiple seminars and sessions that intend to strengthen a newer generation of Christians in their faith. Moreover, students had an opportunity to devote an entire day to evangelism in the city of Toronto.
The Impact:
Encounter gave me an opportunity to devote all my efforts towards God. Like most people, I have distractions in my life like problems at home, friends or worrying about school (or the lack there of for York University students) that prevent me from adequately worshiping God. Encounter simply provided an atmosphere free from distractions, allowing me to continually worship God (Hebrews 13:15) in a way that is pleasing to Him (John 4:24).
Also incredible, was witnessing the power of prayer in a hall with 600 university students from across Eastern Canada as we prayed to live a life more like Christ, as people prayed for boldness to speak the word of God to the nations— and things were shaken (Acts 4:31).
Apart from all the intense large-scale sessions, God was also present in the quiet times as we broke into fellowship to have fun, pray, and build up one another in our faith (Hebrews 10:25).
There was an encounter.
