#WW1.17.24

But If Not...

by Kevin Wilkinson, Jr.

I had never been to GYC before and had no plans of trying to attend, but by God’s design, I found myself at my first GYC event three weeks ago in Portland, Oregon. I had heard mentions of GYC before, but had never thought about attending or even seen live streams or audio clips. In short, it was an absolutely amazing experience! There is something very powerful when you are surrounded by thousands of other young people who believe the same as you, and are on fire for Christ. The entire event was a fantastic experience, and I would encourage any young people reading this, if you have the opportunity to attend next year, please do it! You won’t regret it!  Each day usually started with...
