Right Down To The Last Tent!

I'm back from the field that is the Newark Showground! Well, actually I've been back for about a week, but you know what I'm like!

I've been at the Christian conference that is New Wine, quite possibly for the last time. I've been going to it for the past 12 years now, so certainly for me anyway, it's time for a change. Maybe I'll go to a different camp, like Momentum, or maybe stop altogether - I don't know yet.

But it doesn't stop my experience at New Wine from being totally awesome.

I've seen people healed, I've seen people changed by God's love for them, I've seen people give their lives to Christ. 
I've seen my friends grow in confidence, patience and love and I have been privileged to grow with them over the years I've known them. 
I've made friends from all over the country at New Wine and built on some friendships that were forged at secondary school. 
I've experienced God's love for me and He has given me gifts to use to let others know of His mercy and grace. 
I have been healed myself and I take joy in the fact that no matter how hard I fall, He is always there to pick me right back up again.

But above all else, New Wine was where I made my own decision to become a follower of Christ. 

I was 8 years old.
And it was the best decision I ever made.
