What People Are Saying...
CJ and Shelley brought a powerful message challenging us to take practical steps
toward the holiness for which God has created us.
I especially appreciated the breakout
session in which CJ spoke very candidly with the men (and young men) about the need for
purity with regard to pornography and for protection with regard to creating a safe environment
for our daughters.
The women of the church were blessed as Shelley spoke tenderly about God's pure
love for each of them.
Through this one Sunday event, hearts were open to healing and families were
challenged to set new standards for the media soup in which they daily swim.

“I had a small idea as to what I was going to hear and see when C.J. brought his material to our teen camp this summer, but I was beyond pleased with all that it covered. The kids were tracking right with him; and as any youth worker will tell you, keeping a group of teens’ attention for half and hour or more is no easy task.
It was no problem with C.J. and topics he covered. C.J. and the materials used were exactly what our kids needed to hear and the way it was presented was exciting and challenging!!! I’m still hearing from our teens about what they heard and saw!!! Our kids need to hear the truth about the dangerous things they allow into their lives!”
