Never before have I found such a close group of students who are devoted to finding God’s calling for their lives. At the foot-washing ceremony, I was astounded to see all of the students so willing and eager to be selfless and serve one another. These friendships will last a lifetime.

Most people told me that coming back a second year was pointless because it would be the same experience as last summer. NOT true! I learned as much, if not more, this year. God has given me peace, confidence, and an amazing love. I can’t wait for my third year.

God spoke to me in every way possible this week: through the music, the speakers, the workshops, and all of the wonderful people. Although everyone had different personalities, we all came together for a common purpose—to serve God and to find out how we can live our lives according to His will.

The third time is the charm! I’ve attended YiM for three years and every year has been incredible.  This summer, God explored my heart and showed me what I need to work on in my life as well as what he loves about me. I’ve never been able to feel God’s presence as much as when I’m at YiM.

-Melanie, St. Petersburg, FL


YiM was definitely the best week of my life. It wasn’t like a normal camp. It was a challenging environment where I had to face Christ and give my life up to him all over again. Christ bonded everyone that attended with an unbreakable bond in his love.  The knowledge that I gained and the friendships that were created will never wash away.                                               
-Brooke, Mt. Zion, IL


This was the best week of my life! I loved being able to come a second year and to make new connections with people as equally passionate about God as I am.
