‘Live Sent’: Oklahoma retreat equips, impacts 800 students, young adults

More than 800 college students and young adults recently gathered  for the Falls Creek Spring Retreat. The annual event, geared college-age young adults, featured messages from Charlie Blount and Cris Lowery, with worship led by Bailey Byers.

“God was honored and friendships were formed and deepened,” The Baptist Messenger reported, “as attendees participated in numerous breakout sessions, sports tournaments, silent disco, sharing meals and various late-night activities, as well as three large worship gatherings.”

No excuses

Attendee Cortney Evans noted, “The theme ‘Live Sent’ was something that really fell on my heart.”

“We (Christians) have no excuse not to be living for God in everything we do,” she added. “Hearing that reminder this weekend was just what I needed, and I will always be thankful for that.”
