Encounter 2025

Justin Renton • July 31, 2025

Nearly 200 young people, 160 campus students and 33 teens, for the Saturday, gathered to learn, connect, and worship together!


Our theme for the weekend was “But God”, taken from Ephesians 2:1–5. The passage speaks of how things were going. They were stuck in sin and without hope, "but God" stepped in with mercy and love, changing everything.


We held split classes for men and women under the shared title: “I Would But Jesus…”, encouraging honest reflection on our struggles and the transformation Jesus brings.


The whole weekend invited us to examine our lives, hearts, and circumstances, and to recognize the “But God” moments:

moments where God’s fingerprints, love, and good plans broke through our mess and showed us a better way.


We were especially inspired by the diversity in the room, students representing eight different nations:

South Africa, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Lesotho, Angola, Zambia, Namibia, and Botswana.


It was a weekend full of worship, connection, truth, and renewed vision. We can’t wait to see the ripple effects from what God started!
