Getaway 2010 was an awesome in Myrtle Beach, SC where over 600 students from States east of the Mississippi gathered for the annual Student Venture conference. We took 70 from Raleigh. We were all encouraged as we heard from Tenth Avenue North, Greg Speck, James White and many others about what it means to truly follow Christ. Here are some of the comments from the students who went:

"I didn’t really want to come this week, but being here has changed my whole perspective on life and I am so glad that I did!"

"I have one year left, and I want to leave a legacy at my school."

"I have never seen the Lord use me to minister to others as He did this week. I was so overwhelmed at what He did that I just went home and wept."

"Every day I grew stronger. I feel so ready to face the world. God has filled me, and I hope to continue in this direction. I do not want to return to my old life, but instead live every day to what God wants."

"I am going home and talk with my sisters and family about what it means to know Christ."

"This week has changed my life."

Below is the video of the battle on the beach. This is one of ways that we connect with people to talk with them about Jesus. Following the video are some pictures to enjoy!
