Fan the Flame. You know what one weekend can do. Join monthly and keep the fire spreading.

You remember your weekend. Maybe it was years ago, maybe more recently, but you remember the moment it stopped being a story you'd heard about God and became something that happened to you. Something broke open. Something healed. You walked out different than you walked in.

Something is happening in New England right now. While baptisms are increasing slightly or flat across most of the country, churches here are seeing real growth, real hunger, real movement (Vision New England is reporting a 90% increase in baptisms in the past few years!) But at the exact same time, we're watching the most anxious, loneliest generation on record grow up in our churches and our neighborhoods. Suicide is now the second-leading cause of death for people ages 10 to 34. Nearly eight in ten young people say they feel lonely, often or always. They are not asking whether Christianity is true. They're asking if it works. Will this actually set me free?

We've seen the answer, over and over, at Encounter weekends. Teenagers and young adults meeting the risen Jesus, bringing the things that hurt to a God who heals, and leaving with no mere moral platitude but with an experience they can't explain away. So we built a weekend just for them.

Here's the problem...

The weekends to be nearly free - money should never stand between a student and an encounter with God.

A weekend is not enough on its own. Without someone to lead it, to build a culture around it, to coach churches, parents, and youth leaders so what happens on a retreat doesn't stay on the retreat, the fire goes out. We need a Youth Encounter Director, someone whose full-time work is raising up leaders who can host God's presence with their own students, multiply missional disciples, and carry heaven and earth together into ordinary life...

We have this person, our first Youth Encounter Director, and we can wait to introduce you!

This is where you come into the story. You already know what this does. You don't have to wonder if it's real. What you can do now is fuel it, monthly, so it reaches the next kid, and the next church, and the next generation, long after any one weekend ends. Sustained Encounters with God.
