God allowed us to take 8 teenagers on a life-changing trip to the Bahamas. We had an amazing cruise, a 7-night stay at an all-inclusive resort in Nassau, an outstanding youth conference at Bahamas Faith Ministries, and experienced the fresh power of God in Lakeland, Florida. Be encouraged as you read a few of the girl's testimonies.

"Throughout this trip God has shown me various things about myself like the way I treat people really affects them a lot. I didn't notice that until this trip."
What I need to do! "I need to be build up my inner-character and remain positive because if I get negative, everyone around me gets negative. So I have to learn how to carry myself positive and be more up and not just rely on what I want to do, but make sure I do He has for me. "
Examples "Even going to the store, I might not want to go, but God might have someone who's getting hurt at the store - so you have to do stuff because God wants you to do it. Or I might be sitting next to a stranger who might be going through something, and God may want me to help them."
The Florida Outpouring "The Fire Conference in Florida made me see the power of God to heal and that nothing is impossible with God!"

"God has been showing me a lot of things. My whole life has been changed ever since that conference" Before we went I hadn't been feeling well because of something that happened to me in my past. But now since that conference I feel so much better. Now I forgave the person who did that to me."
His Plan for me
"I just feel so much better. I know God has something planned for me. I now know that I'm very beautiful in God's eyes. It doesn't matter what anyone else has to say about me! It matters what God has to say." |

"I think that God sent me to the Bahamas to make me realize that I need to start trusting in myself and having more self-confidence and believing that He's there for me. "
Example:
"I'm a really a scared person I'm scared to go into deep water. I was scared to go snorkeling because they said it was 18 feet deep. Then Ms. Stevenson said something that really encouraged me. So I got in and it made me realize that I had so much more self-confidence and that I can trust that God will always protect me."
