The Awestruck Festival was amazing and refreshing. The servant events gave a sense of meaning and put the lives of the youth who were involved in perspective to how to live their lives as Christ's hands and feet in today's world. The bands were spirit-filled with a message of hope that today's youth so desperately need to hear. The unique atmosphere of the concerts were personable and could never be duplicated. I was blessed to see the youth and adults not only grow in their relationships with each other but more importantly in their God given faith during the worship services and speakers. In the months returning from Awestruck I have seen faith in action that was ignited by attending the awesome experience/servant event.The whole festival is a great building block for youth groups to see God is active in our lives everyday, leaving His traces of abundant grace on us. All of my youth are still excited, telling their stories, and cannot wait until the next Awestruck Festival.
