| Feedback from the 1. YiM Congress |
||
| "This congress has changed my life – I'm thankful to God for it!" Manuel Diesing "This congress has helped me, to consecrate 100% of my life to Jesus. Now I want to learn even better how I can lead other people to Jesus." Peter Straka "The congress was amazing! To see so many young people participating in a program like this: 6:46 o'clock - morning devotions with Louis Torres, Outreach, Input non-stop …)! Well, let's go on. Let's go forward. Let's go home!" Maria Degenhardt "The best of all was that God was the center in everything. This could be felt all through the program." Jakob Wieck "It was the finest event I have ever seen, being prepared from young people for young people. Who wasn't there, really missed out on something. I'm going to make sure, that I'll be also at the 2. YiMC!" Ralf Lachmann "My daughter told me afterwards: 'Dad, I couldn't have made a better decision then to attend the YiM Congress!' Her friend, belonging to the evangelical church, was so caught up by the information given on the website (surely not without the intervening of the Holy Spirit!) that he also came along. He has accepted the Sabbath as the biblical day of rest and has taken many other impressions home with him. We participated from at home, watching the whole program on the internet via the live stream. All I can say is that it was a very blessed time!" Hartmut Pape "I have never felt the presence of the Holy Spirit as strong as on the YiM Congress." Erhard Biró, President of the Baden-Württemberg Conference "The YiM Congress motivated me to become a missionary at home in my church. The congress has toughed me tremendously, strengthening my prayer life and also my relationship with Jesus." Esther Zürcher "Normally big events like this give you a spiritual push, but soon you're back to everyday life. As for my life, the YiM Congress has left a permanent impression. I have learned how to revive my spiritual life and how to keep it alive." Miriam P. "Sadly I couldn't attend, but I've watched the whole program on the internet via the live stream. On Sabbath the whole youth group from our church met at our house, because they didn't want to miss out on it." Christoph Till "Nearly all attendees participated at the outreach on Sabbath afternoon going from house to house. Heaven must have been deeply toughed." Daniel Esta Feliz "We began to sing while driving back from the mission outreach. What an experience, when nearly everyone in the street railway, maybe 200-300 young people, joint in with enthusiasm. We couldn't stop singing." Gabriel Schönfeld "On the 2nd Sabbath after the YiM Congress we had an amazing Experience. After the mission outreach on Sabbath some young people told us that they met an Adventist lady from Puerto Rico who hasn't attended church for quite some time. The young people encouraged her to attend the Adventist church in Mannheim. Last Sabbath the lady came to the church service and was very happy." Gennadi Giesbrecht "The program was so excellent that I hardly noticed the little problems occurring here and there. I think remarkable was that many of us were mentally fit for the whole time, in spite of the intense program and the little sleep we got. For me this is another sign showing that God really blessed this congress." Christian Zahalka "We were very amazed that over a thousand young people registered knowingly for this congress. Not because of entertainment and not because of the modern way of praise and worship. This congress shows once again, that the young people are not looking for the world in the church, but rather seek a deep relationship with God. The Holy Spirit filled the hearts of the attendees and was present for the whole event." Ivan Sawadjuk, President of the Bukowina Conference |
