“His love teaches me how to love!”

The first course of Fully Alive 2018 was given by Jenna Kish, and talked about our interior life. Affections are part of being human, feel your feelings. Order everything to Love’s will. Let God into all the hidden “closets” of your heart. Bring everything into the Light of Christ. Affections are neither good nor bad morally, it’s what we do with our affections, it’s allowing God to order them in Love that can lead to actions. Intellect, passions, and will–let God order them.   Ana Leticia had this to say about her experience of the course: “My expectations for the Fully Alive retreat were high!!! My heart is full of feelings that often control me: fear, anxiety, anger, love… In ...

Acamps festival: God invited us to trust Him more

In the morning on Friday 10 we sang and danced and prayed morning prayer all together outside by the lake, and then we heard a talk about sin and salvation. We learned that the devil tries to make us “blind” to the truth and to distort the way we see things, and that when we sin it separates us from God’s love, but that Jesus came to die on the cross for us, so sin no longer has any power.

Acamps Summer Festival

“He filled the void I felt in my heart”

Acamps for me was a very nice experience. Besides being in another environment and having a conversation with different people it made me know God in a way that I had never known before. It made me feel his love and that he was calling me to be happy and give me the tranquility that I was looking for in material things, friends, parties or some girl … He filled this void I felt in my heart and made me feel loved.
