 
Getting together gives us opportunities to chat and have fun
whilst discussing topics about our faith and being
teenagers.
It’s
great sharing our opinions and points of view and just
generally finding out more about each other.
Anne
and Graham let us take over their house
pictures>>, and are very good
at providing us with refreshments and a space to chill.
They
are also great at teaching us more about our faith and
giving us time just to appreciate how great God really is.
We
do a range of activities – discussions and prayers and
creative stuff and watch TV clips and listen to music and
lots more, whatever fits best for the topic.
ITS
GREAT, ITS AMAZING, WE LOVE IT!! |
Detling 2006.
This was my first detling and I
didn't know what to expect but the experience was amazing.
One of things that I found very touching was the prayer
teams. On the second night at the main event I went up for
prayer with a mate. We both have pretty much the same
background the bad and the good. But one guy was praying for
us and he started to say things about how we would use the
negative in our past for the glory of god. (Considering we
have both been through the same storms it was amazing) (We
started thinking have we met this guy before?) That night I
really felt God had moved my life forward.
I was then being prayed for by a French mission team and
they said can we just pray that you receive the spirit. Ok I
said and as they were praying I said to God "You moved my
life forward the other day, what about my career". Then the
most AMAZING thing happened one of team said they saw me on
stage as a shining light for JESUS. I also felt that God was
Calling me to take this path on the last night (I think God
was using Eric)
On the last night I prayed that the same mate I went up for
prayer with would just feel happy inside. (I had no idea
what would make him happy) but in the end we were at the
extreme event when someone took him aside and told him he
would be able to choose his words correctly and keep leaders
calm when everyone else was loosing their heads. That was 30
seconds before I ended up crying in his arms. With his
comforting and words and support there because things had
got a little tense at the end. He was amazing and this gift
is the one he needs in his life I'm sure. He said the thing
that he wanted most at the moment was to know God's purpose
for him (we nearly got to the end of the week with no
revelation) and then BANG! On the last night. Straight in
the fast lane, God doesn't give you these gifts for nothing)
so never ever forget this:
GODS TIMING IS PERFECT |

Detling
2007
Last summer a group of us went to a
Christian festival, called Detling summer conference. There
was a range of activities to participate in for all ages.
There was a specific section for the youth. We camped
together as a group. During the day we all went of in our
separate groups as there was a range of activities on each
day to suit everybody’s needs. There was a main marquee were
every body came together for a meeting in the evening, where
the main band played the worship music. There were several
guest speakers. Including R.T Kendal, John Paul Jackson and
the main event was lead by Eric Delve.
There was a separate youth village with
2 youth marquees for different ages which had there own
separate worship bands.

Youth
Services and me
“…having done
the talk at the youth service (and having been completely terrified
during it!) I can say that the youth services are well worth going
to and are well organised. Unless I’m talking the talk…The format is
very laid back, using cushions rather than the pews…”
Josh
“…they’re
great; lots of people turn out to them …everyone is welcome. The
PowerPoint is slick and well designed. The talks are aimed at the
Youth and guide us further on our journey of faith…you should come
along to them…”
