Summit Ministries

How can I thank the Lord for all He has done for me? There are no words, He is so good! I believe that He has worked these past two weeks for His glory, honor, and praise.

I have to admit, it was really hard for me to adjust to The Summit at first, as this was the first time I had been away from my parents for two weeks. The temptation to withdraw and isolate myself was very strong, but God provided a way out through my wonderful small group. These godly young women are amazing! The strength and support of this group greatly encouraged me to grow and make the most of all the things I was learning. In addition to this, God revealed Himself in a very real way as my ultimate source of joy. He is so amazingly good!

Of course, God also revealed Himself through the speakers. Even those I disagreed with sharpened me, causing me to study more about what I believe. In my opinion, the highlights were Dr. Frank Beckwith's logical defense of the existence of God, and Debbie Brezina's moving defense of Biblical femininity and masculinity. It is so encouraging to see people who are passionate about what they believe and are willing to make such a sacrifice to share it with the next generation.

All in all, God was definitely teaching us more about Himself, whether through a speaker, a kind word from a friend, or His own overwhelming presence. I thank Him and praise Him for all He has done! He is so good!
