This was best!!!I loved all the bands, great messages, and wonderful people! It really changed the way I worship, pray, and spend my time with GOD. Just in case any of you remember (Boys)My G-O-d (girls)is B-I-G!!!! PEACE & LOVE!
Youth convention, I can’t describe how unbelievable it is. This is my fourth year going and every year I get so deeply involved. Whether it’s listening to the different speakers like Reggie and Monty hip, or having worship with Jeff Deyo, and of course the bands. Youth convention has changed my life in so many ways. I do have trouble sometimes with what I do with my life, it’s hard for me to stay on track. I have had many times in my life that I have been lost, hurt, and doing the wrong things. But no matter what I did I always went back. The theme this year was stop the noise, And that’s when it happened. The noise is all gone. I finally feel free. I know one thing, is that god is an awesome god. I used to have doubt, because I never felt like he was listening. I was confused if he was really real or not. But I finally new god was speaking to me, I knew never to give up. And I didn’t. I always had faith in him. You have to learn to keep praying and talking to him growing your relationship with him. He’s always listening, and he'll help you and give you the answer when he knows you need it. So many people are hurting inside, but you never know that. All you can do is watch and listen. Be alert to the things and people around you. I bet you will notice things that no one else notices. I just want to say thank you for everything. And god bless....
Hey Guys,
I had the most amazing time being on the crew, helping out Tony Orlando, Scott Anderson and Mike De Vito and sharing my journey with silence. This was my sixth year going to Youth Convention, but first "behind the scenes." What and How and Why you do what you do blows me away. All of your kindness, encouragement and wisdom were refreshing.
I thought that everything was absolutely amazing, I could not have asked for any other year to be a part of this God- chosen team of servants.
Jeff Deyo rocked the house. I had an opportunity to pray for him and talk to him about his heart in worship and I cannot stop thinking about the words he said about his job becoming obsolete and the students would start being the worship leaders of themselves. I love it!
Reggie killed it, as always. He is too much man, I love it. And Monty's energy and passion was inspiring. I had an absolute wonderful time.
Thanks guys for all that you do. I love you all very much, can't wait for next year.
I came last year to Youth Convention and I believe that it was my first true experience with God. But then, after a while I began to blame myself for everything around me. The death of a parent, letting people down. I let so many things bring me down and take me farther and farther away from the lord. And I thought I was done for. There was no way that I could ever bring myself back. And then this weekend rolled around. By just sitting still and being quiet for once, I realized that God was never too far from me. He was simply waiting for me to catch up again.
God knows I'll be talking about this to everyone for ages.
I know God will make sure the message makes it to everyone in due time.
It was my first time going as a leader. I'm a mother and when Reggie asked all the moms to come up and pray for the kids I prayed for a young girl that went up for a suicide alter call. I prayed for her and after I began talking to her I found out that she had no parents, no family, she was a young lady, eighteen living alone that had come with her church. After we talked for awhile we exchanged addresses and to our surprise we both had the same last name! We were in awe that God "hooked us up" together. She felt like she had found "family". I am going to keep in touch with her, God knew this young girl needed to know that she meant something to Him I know we did not meet by chance I'm excited to see what the Lords going to do next with our new friendship. Our last name is not a common one. She was amazed. This was her first time going also. Thank you Reggie for your obedience to do what God asked you to do! AWESOME!
This was my 5th time in a row to the convention and it was awesome as usual. As a leader I always want to know what I will get out of the convention and how my youth will be blessed. As usual the Lord did work in my life. I related well to the voices in my head. I pray that the Lord will not let the things of what is important in the world go on and on in my head. I sensed a blessing in this area and ask that nothing on my job will separate me from hearing the Lord's voice and thank you again for this blessed conference!!
Well this was mah first year at youth convention and I had a great time and I was blessed because I heard gods voice while we were in worship and we were singing I said god please forgive me and I love u and I heard his voice telling me I forgive u and I love u more than anyone in this world
Well in the being I didn't really want to go, because my faith was dying out due to me not going to church because I put my job before the lord. I talked to my friend and told her about what I was going through and why I didn't want to go to the convention this year she told me that if I went she would help me find the lord again and I would be able to relight my flame for the lord. So I went, the first night I was crying my eyes out. I talk to my consular and my youth pastor, both of them help me understand that the lord will always be in my life no matter what I do because he died on the cross for my sins and everybody else's sins. I just wanted to let you guys know that my youth pastor Eric Atherton is a really good pastor, because without him I'm not sure how my faith would be like at this moment. I now and will stay with the lord in my life!
Thank you for having this convention it helped me a lot in my life!!!!
Praise God!! This past weekend was truly amazing. This was my 9th year in a row coming to youth convention and once a
gain it was breath taking. I come expecting God to change my life and every year he never ceases to do it, it seems like every year my prayer life and my worship life and just my life with God period grows to a different strength and a totally different level. I started coming when I was in the beginning stages of being a drug addict and alcoholic back in '98, here I am almost 10 years later as a youth pastor at age 20 and a testimony of to what God has done in my life because of the Youth Convention. I want to encourage anyone who reads this to not give up and that no matter what keep coming to youth convention and keep bringing those that you think just won't come to know God because I'm a product of God showing up at the youth convention and changing my life, I'm a product of an answered prayer for a lot of people who were praying for me, I'm a product of God's word not returning back void. See I used to come to the youth convention every year and no one knew what I was going through or were I had been or where I was going but God knew, I used to come to youth convention and pretended that God didn't touch my heart but he did, I used to come to youth convention for the girls, and the sick skateboarding spots specially for the 8 stair inbetween the Marriot and the convention center, or I would go as a momentary escape away from people or certain problems. I went to youth Convention for everything except God, and after every amazing weekend I would go home and go back to the noise that kept me from knowing God that noise being drugs, alcohol, girls I was involved with, skateboarding and everything possible that kept me from God. Here it is DON'T GIVE UP, keep coming, keeping bringing those that you think won't change because the Bible says that his word will not return back void. Be blessed and encouraged.
WOW....this was my second year at Youth Convention and it seriously was AMAZING!!! I was so totally blessed by the worship (I love you Jeff Deyo!!!) and especially blessed by the speaker Reggie Dabbs. He really knows how to preach. I'm looking forward to many more years of going to Convention and I’m glad I got to go this year. I almost didn’t go but the Lord knew I had to let go of my past and move on and so he made it possible for me to do exactly that. I learned that my life is way busy and that I need to "Stop the Noise" and spend some time with God. Shout out to Rock Solid Youth!!! and the best Youth Pastor...Pastor Nelson!!! I LOVE you guys. thanks for everything. I hope that who ever read this decides to go to convention because you WILL be blessed!
God Bless!!!
I can't even express how I felt this weekend. Overflowing with sooo much emotions! The Youth Convention was the best weekend! GOD's presence seriously was overflowing through that convention. 6,000 people singing, dancing, jumping, praying, praising, and crying out to the Lord! It was sooo beautiful. Every moment of it was awesome! from the Hawk Nelson, Jeremy Camp, Group 1 Crew, Jeff Deyo to the sermons from Reggie and Monty. But seriously the altar calls are life changing! *sigh* I can go on and on...I just LOVED it!!! THANK YOU JESUS!!!
STOP the NOISE!, the theme of the convention was perfect. Noise... noise is everywhere and all around us, controlling our lives and we don't even know it. It is the things in this world such as music, movies, billboards, words, sounds, actions, and even people that pulls you away from God. The evil sinful things that is everywhere around us. Business is an example that Monty spoke about that really applies to me. Being so distracted and so busy with everything going on in this world, I’m lost and drowing in it that I’ve pulled away from getting closer and having a deeper relationship with GOD.
The weekend was awesome! Our R.A.W.Remix Youth Group didn't want it to end. They didn't want to go back to the real world. As we walked out in silence to end the convention Sunday morning, and just ending an altar call I felt praying. So I got our youth group and led us in prayer and cried out to the Lord.......I PRAYED that each and every single person that went to the convention and entered those doors did not leave the same person but a changed and renewed person with the blessings of God to face the world head on and STOP THE NOISE!!!!!!!
AWESOME 07 Conventions!!! Can't wait for next year!! See you all again next year! GOD blesses everyone!!! <3Jezz (Pacific Lighthouse Christian Fellowship - San Diego)
I felt the spirit of god in me and now I’m more calm because before I wouldn’t listen to anyone but know I listen to my parents and my mom said that I was changed that’s my story
Well, let me start off by saying that this is my 4th year going to Youth Convention...This was by far the best year. I really felt a difference after the weekend as well as during the event. The band line-up was incredible and the speakers were the best. Hawk Nelson was awesome, Group 1 Crew put on a great show, and Jeremy Camp was my favorite. Reggie Dabbs was funny but really spoke to my heart. Monty Hipp was great and also shared a great story to learn. It really hit me hard this year for some reason. I felt very emotional and overwhelmed. I feel God really spoke to my heart and made me think about what is going on. Jeff Deyo was indescribable. I love coming and praising and worshipping the Lord to his music. I cannot wait until next year. There are no words to explain this weekend and it will always be a great and wonderful memory. I had a great time going down there with my church, North Hills in Brea. I am very grateful that you guys put this on for all of the youth. I don't ever want to know what my life would be without God and Youth Convention changes your heart for the better. Thanks for everything you do and I am looking forward to go next year and many more.
This was my first time. I am a youth leader and can now understand why all the student attendees from last year were soo excited about it. Thank you all (bands, speakers, behind the scene people, security, volunteers, vendors) for being led by the Lord. It was a memorable experience of how everyone was touched. I left the convention drained, emotionally (I was one of the mom's up there), spiritually and physically (lack of sleep) and yet strong! When we are weak that's when He is strong! God bless you all!
i really enjoyed this years convention stop the noise is something that alot of youth needed hear just to be quiet n spend time with God n jst 2 let him talk to u. I no that this was a door opener to my youth group!
