'No Turning Back: The Journey Continues...' is a really "full-on", fast-moving and multi-sensory experience! There's something for everyone - from worship and prayer to social action; media and music training to inflatables - and all aimed to encourage young people to discover their gifts and God's calling on their lives.
Over the weekend, we saw young people jamming with the live band; drinking smoothies; learning elaborate street-dance moves; jumping about in front of a video green-screen; engaging with God in prayer about issues of justice; battering each other on the inflatable pillow-bash; getting fired up about joining a Re:Act 08 mission team; gasping in disgust as a man pushed a pen through his lip(!); generally meeting with God in a wonderfully fresh and really empowering way...
The event is split into 2 parts with a fast-moving afternoon filled with interactivity and participation. There are zones all over the venue offering different experiences - a prayer and challenge area, a taster of our annual Rock School, a chill-out cafe, dance workshops, inflatables and a video technology area, where you can use hi-tech gadgets and cameras.
The evening's main event brings everyone together for a multi-media worship time, with live music, an escapologist, worship led by a top-quality band and a challenging talk. This is a great opportunity to see young people stepping up to the full adventure of the Christian life - not just turning up to the events and going through the motions but really engaging with what God has for them.
The actual layout of the event varies from place to place depending on the venue but it is crammed full with fun, excitement and inspiration. There's still time to catch this tour over the next couple of weekends so check out a venue near you...
