The Western District also had one of the greatest camps they have ever had, the Spirit of God moved Greatly and there was a Freedom there that had not been enjoyed in the past..

I think the miracle is having more people show up to a wpf youth evnt than showed up at the tulsa tango. Since no video is allowed, validating exaggerated numbers are out of the question.

Not as much dissention. lol Good to hear the western district

An estimated 70,000 kids gathered in Washington DC to pray for God to stop abortion. Better than light a candle than curse the darkness. A candle was lit in Washington DC for the next generation.

A group of young people from our church went and the report that came back was that it was a life-changing event - not the cliche "life-changing", but a literal "life-changing" event.

How is that for a good report and not an evil report?

It was indeed THE life changing event for me!!! I was backslidden in my heart & was trying to get back to the place where i used to be. Every service i would reach out to God, but still i wouldn't let go of the things i had done. I didn't want to go to PEAK because i thought it would be just like all the other conferences we went to...stirred & hyped up but not changed. No different than when you got there. Boy was i WRONG! I have never felt the power of God so strong & believe me i have had my awesome experiences in the high places of God! No gimmicks there, just the indescribable love of our Savior! I am 19 years old & i wouldn't trade that for the world! Talk about me & say i'm narrow minded, but "narrow is the way" to get to heaven!

ALL of our young people were changed. We went back home & had testimony service the next day (Sunday night). It was phenomenal...EVERY young person had the anointing & authority of God as they gave their testimony. As a result, 6 people were baptized!!! No preaching, fog, or strobe lights-just young people with the fire of God & a burning desire to reach the lost! We're ready for revival...LET'S GO!!!!

I don't post much here, but wanted to say how wonderful it was to see this great report. We took our youth, and all of us are still soarin'! I have been in Pentecost my entire life...I have never been in services soooo powerful- EVER!! We took our youth, and their lives were changed. They have not stopped talking to us about it! We love it!

Something happened with our youth at PEAK that was not emotionalism, or a momentary high- but truly an anointing and power was placed in their lives- as well as mine. I cannot say enough how great this conference was!!

Naysayers can talk...we are just gonna' keep keepin' on until Jesus comes. Some don't understand the WPF or agree- that is fine. But one thing is true- we had some church in Tulsa! I hope that UPC, WPF, ALJC or anyone else will not try to diminish to these young people the move of God that they experienced. This is not about organizations or politics, this was a lot of young people who gathered together in worship and praise- and God answered! Please, just let them rejoice in this!

We love the truth and we love all our brothers and sisters that are teaching and preaching truth- no matter what card they hold!

Oh, and we can't wait until PEAK next year!!!

I am certainly not a part of the WPF, certainly not, but it is great to hear that they have changed hearts and lives. We can all argue over this and that lights and fog versus no lights and fog, who cares. I ask are people changed in a service with lights a fog, yes! Are people changed in a service with no fog and lights, yes! Then good. Who give a flying fig that Peak did or didn't have lights. People got changed and that is the key. It trips me out that you all in this thread would bring up the light situation. Honestly no one cares if you all have flashin lights or whatever at Peak, I do care that kids were changed. That is the bright spot!

Great Post! I too am perplexed why all the WPF folks are bringing up the lighting situation. Not only I am seeing this mentioned on this forum, but on various WPF member blogs as well. The only way it can be taken is as a slight against the UPC youth conferences.

While I am rejoicing with the WPF folks that many hearts and lives were touched and changed at PEAK, the same is true for the UPC events. At the Western District youth convention this past March, there were lights and many hearts and lives were touched and changed as well.

Thank you for being thrilled with the kids. We did not all, however, bring up the lights and fogs...one 19 year old poster did. You were a bit mistaken- just wanted to clear that up!

Furthermore, I am a WPF Minister's wife...I don't have a problem with light and fog. I believe in the right place and setting, it is great for youth ministry....

I am truly excited every service when our young people experience God...we were all just excited about PEAK this week....

GOD BLESS!

What an awesome testimony and thank you for not being quiet.

Sounds like someone was REVIVED and not by emotional motivational gimmicks that just get you pumped for a short period of time, but does not last; but rather something based on a relationship with the Almighty!

Glory to God!
