Sri Lankan Encounter

One weekend while in Sri Lanka, I was able to attend an Encounter. It was such a powerful thing to be a part of and I will never forget it. 

I have never seen people run up to the Cross like this. They were screaming at the top of their lungs for Jesus to forgive them and cleanse them of their past ways. Clinging to the cross.

They were under the realization that God loves them and wants to give them freedom from their past.

They have come out of Buddhism and know Jesus is alive. They are not living as if what they believe isn't real. They know its real. They have seen the other side and know it's real as well.

[P.S. For those of you who aren't familiar with what an Encounter is, I have taken the definition from my church to explain: "An Encounter Retreat is a weekend short course in freedom - freedom from habits, bondage's, bitterness, wrong thoughts, and past mistakes. At the Encounter, the Lord sets you free through the power of the Cross."]


Praise God for the POWER of the Cross!!! It is still alive and working miracles today!
