"At
TEC I grow closer to Christ and make Christian friends that love
and accept me."

"I know God placed me there
for that weekend and I can't think of a better time or more fun
way to strengthen my faith and discover a friend in Christ."

"I traveled to a place called
Smithfield to spend three days at Short Journey Retreat Center.
As I approached, I was hesitant, not sure what to expect and before
I knew it I was joining in on fun games and then stood around
a room to see what the next three days would hold. I was placed
at a table of unknowns and soon became friends with them and I
pray that we will be life-long friends. Then, I realized that
I was in for a great experience with the praise music; testimonies
from other Christians...teens, adults, and pastors; hands-on activities;
and a challenge to renew my relationship with Jesus Christ."

"At a time in my life where
I wasn't sure about my faith or my life, TEC gave me a different
perspective on my relationship with God, with other Christians,
and a better view towards myself."

"TEC is awesome! Everyone
is loved and supported. When I made my TEC I was so scared that
no one would like me and I would be left out. How wrong was I!
I met a whole community of friends and believers."

"Thank you (TEC team and community)
for making TEC the most awesome, amazing experience and best weekend
of my life. I was deeply impacted by all that you had to say.
And thank you everyone for accepting me in spite of the obvious
differences. I would like to say thank you to all you for loving
me even before you knew me and thank you for inspiring me to find
God."

"Being a guest really renewed
my faith, and brought me closer to God....I came back as a servant.
Once again my faith has been renewed and I got to see how God
works and really makes a difference in peoples' lives."

"Hearing people talk about
their faith helps me to step back and pay more attention to what
is happening in my own life and to look for God. WIGIAT - Where
Is God In All This? - has become my motto."
