One of the amazing blessings about being on staff here in Georgia is that we have the opportunity to participate in the many training sessions that go one here at the facility. We have many speakers that come who have been proven in their ministries, and we get to sit in on their teachings and absorb much wisdom and knowledge from them. As if that isn’t enough, they pray over us and counsel us and lead us as fathers of the faith.
Last year, AIM decided to do a little experiment. Although our focus is mainly on activating and empowering the young adults of this generation through short term missions, we realized that we could offer this same training to the general public. A few staff members began to brainstorm about how we can develope a transformational experience for adults and families who don’t neccesarily feel called to go overseas to do mission work.
We have seen many youth come through these camps and have witnessed dramatic transformations over the course of one week. It really is amazing; a miracle really. We created the BreakThru conference as a way to offer that same life changing experience for anybody who feels that desire for a break through in their faith.
The truth is that we all have things that hold us back. We all get stuck. We all get hung up on lies we have believed our whole lives about who we are or who God is. Sometimes we feel stuck but we don’t even really know why.
At the BreakThru conference, we learn how to hear God’s voice and follow it. We also look at experiences in our lives that may have caused fear, mistrust, unforgiveness or other wounds that can keep us from experiencing God’s fullness in our lives. We learn how to grieve those things instead of stuffing them down, so that we can be free to move beyond them.
Have you ever felt like you just can’t handle another dissapointment or another hurt? When we learn how to properly grieve the hurts in our lives, we clean the slate and start fresh again instead of piling one hurt on top of another. We can handle an infinite amount of hardship if we learn to let them go as they come. If you’ve ever felt that weight of sorrow or burden pressing down on your spirit, you may have unresolved hurts that need to be grieved. It’s not a difficult process, but it does take faith and humility to let God do the work.
There are many other great teachings that inspire us on our journey of faith and propell us into God’s calling for our lives. If you feel like there might be more to life than what you are living, or if you just want to see what else God might have in store for you, maybe it’s your time to have a break through.
