The very first BE STRONG! - leadership training for youth has ended!
Praises and blessings be to our God for all the grace that He provided throughout the training in 2018-2019!
Our hope is that all that we managed to give on to the young participants, contributed to their spiritual growth and the development of their practical skills, and this would help them stand firm as leaders of newly formed youth groups, or to effectively serve in older charismatic communities of the TCCR (Transylvanian Catholic Charismatic Renewal) as members of the leading team.
Some moments, thoughts which the participants take in their hearts:
"That moment when I realized that in order to be a real leader, I will have to stand up again and again, and continue in spite off the difficulties, with God's help." Cs. B.
"The good atmosphere, a smile here and there, the discussions, and the comany of all the wonderful people I could be with during this period. The training has changed me in many areas - in a good direction -, and all that I've learned here, I will be able to use in my whole life." T. Sz.
"I could experience the love of our good God meeting after meeting in a relaxing surrounding and with the best group of people. I dere to say that this has been the best training for me until now, I've learned and evolved a lot. I am grateful for beeng part of it." Zs. K.
"I realized that I am a unique creation and God has given me my certain characteristics with a reason: I need exactly those to be able to build His Kingdom. This helped me to accept myself instead of trying to change myself. I needed to grasp the truth that I am already valuable." P. T.
"Every meeting taught me something: 'Smile at the challenges!', 'Disarm the enemy by thanksgiving and worship!'. Besides some sentences that transformed my thoughts, I could get closer to God through the BE STRONG! training, morover, I've learned on the weekends that I shouldn't be afraid of the challenges that God puts ahead of me, because if it is He who had called me for something, than also He will make me suitable for it." K. D.
