A record-breaking 144 teens, 39 sponsors and 20 staff and volunteers enjoyed a Christ-filled retreat led by Glacier View Ranch staff and guest speaker Tyler Morrison. RMC Youth Department staff member Shannon Werner noted this was the largest Teen Prayer Summit she has seen in her four years working for the conference.
The theme Home: Finding our Identity in Christ through His Promises featured sessions containing two elements: gather and engage. As attendees gathered, Morrison introduced the topic, then they engaged in deeper discussion about how to apply the message.
Mikey Archibeque, associate pastor for Denver South Church, said, “Tyler’s message challenged and moved kids and sponsors. The message of freedom in Christ and what it is to be His was powerful.”
A praise team led by Azriel Posthumus and Eddie Hall, along with students from Campion and Mile High, led out in songs that prepared listeners’ hearts for the message.
In addition to spiritual growth, attendees also spent time enjoying each others’ company. Ashley Halvorson said, “I enjoy going to Teen Prayer Summit because it gives me a break from school, a chance to hang out with friends and the opportunity to get to know God more.”
Jonah De Oliveira, a freshman from the Boulder Church, commented, “It was great! I really liked the talks Tyler gave and hanging out with friends.”
Teen Prayer Summit 2019 was filled with spiritual growth, friendships and memories, and we encourage students to attend next January.
