Experiencing Momentum and seeing God work in the lives of thousands of students and youth workers from all over the country is always so amazing. Even better is hearing the stories of impact and the life change that follows. Aaron Key, Youth Pastor at Grace Church – Akron East, a Charis Fellowship congregation in northern Ohio, shares how Momentum Youth Conference has impacted his life.
“I grew up attending Momentum [Youth Conference] since I was in 8th grade. I never missed a year. I still attribute many extremely important moments in my faith to Momentum. I can remember specific moments and speakers who played formative roles in some of the things I understand about Jesus that changed my life. Besides this, it was a week that I always looked forward to in my walk with Christ and relationships with friends, and I never ceased to be amazed when I put myself in a position to be changed.
Now as a youth pastor, I see the same thing happen year after year for my own students. Momentum changes their lives every year. Some students accept Christ, some students make huge leaps in their spiritual growth and connection with Christ, some make commitments to enter ministry, and all of them are impacted every single year.
It pays back its weight in gold for my students, leaders, students’ connection to their church leaders, our home church, and even impacts the leaders I bring. I cannot say enough good things about Momentum. I look forward to it every year because I know God will impact my students and my own heart.”
We are always in awe of the ways God works in and through Momentum, even when we don’t see it right away. Do you have a story from a Momentum Ministry Partners event or ministry that you want to share? Submit your story here.
