AT ABOUT MIDNIGHT WR 26

The weather outside is getting colder and the days are getting shorter… that means ONE thing! Winter Retreat 26 is right around the corner! We are so excited about what God is going to do this year! Our goal this year is for students to embrace and understand that “who the Son sets free is FREE INDEED!”

Kendall Alfaro is bringing the heat to Winter Retreat this year! Formerly the North Carolina AG District Youth Director, Kendall now leads Speed the Light nationally—fueling missions and inspiring students to live on purpose. He’s known for his passion, authenticity, and messages that challenge students to chase after Jesus with everything they’ve got. Get ready… Kendall’s got a word for us!

Not quite sure “what is Winter Retreat?!?” Think a week of camp, slammed into a 36 hour period, and imagine 10x’s better. That’s Winter Retreat. You’ll want to be there, we promise!
