Encounters with God can happen anywhere, but there are some landscapes that seem uniquely created to invite connection with him. The wilderness of Montana is one such place.

That’s where our team was gathered together recently with a group of men who were eager to encounter God for their spiritual and emotional healing at a King Me Advance weekend.

Through the weekend, we invited our intercessory prayer team (I-Team) of some 675 men and women to pray with and for the men and our team.

May we just say: prayers were answered!

At the end of every weekend event, we invite the attendees to write down some of the ways God impacted their hearts during those few days: these journal entries help seal those moments, and, with their permission, allows us to share some of their encouraging words.

Here's what a few of the men had to say ...

"It was hard, but it was worth it!" – Chris

"This experience was so much more healing than the regular Encounter. It was also more personal experience." – John

"WOW! This weekend has been the most impactful time in my life with regard to the discipleship story. I-LOVED-IT-SO-MUCH!" – David

"It would be an understatement if I said that this event was anything but amazing!" – Matt

"I stepped deeper into my glory and let God guide me into more healing. Not sure what the future holds for my life, but I plan to conquer in the name of Jesus." – Nathaniel

The impact of this weekend on the hearts of these men was made possible in no small part by our prayer team. Their contribution of prayer really does have significant impact, and our team is so, so grateful.
