Recently we asked the 2012-2013 TN WMU State Acteens Panelist how attending Connection influenced their lives. Here is what Sabrina said....

Connection has influenced my life in many ways, but there is one major way that stands out.  Through the guidance of our Acteens leaders each year we select the conferences we want to attend.  In 2011, in the conferences I attended, we learned about abstinence, how important it is to read the Bible, and how we should live as Christians. My eyes were opened to how I was living and God showed me that I wasn't walking down the path that He really wanted me to! The Sunday night we came home, I walked down to the altar and truly accepted Jesus Christ into my heart.

Recently we asked the 2012-2013 TN WMU State Acteens Panelist how attending Connection influenced their lives. Here is what Susanna said...

Seeing all the other Acteens at Connection, spending time with each other and loving The Lord really encourages me. Its easy to let things in our lives discourages us, but after being with other godly girls, your spirit is lifted in a fresh way!  Another reason is that you get to see many ways you can be involved in missions. That is just two of the many ways that Connection has influenced my life.

Recently we asked the 2012-2013 TN WMU State Acteens Panelist how attending Connection influenced their lives. Here is what Lydia said...

This past Connection, I served as a Panelist which meant, I got to experience it in a new way. My favorite part has always been the conferences, even though I had other responsibilities this was still a small part of my experience. My other responsibilities led to more personal time with missionaries and other personnel. We had a good time visiting with them and hearing about their work. They encouraged us to be more diligent followers of Christ so we could be better leaders in all areas of our lives.

How Acteens has changed my lfie!

by Susanna Clouse

2012-2013 TN WMU State Acteens Panelist

 

Acteens has changed my life in many ways. I started Acteens almost four years ago. When I started it was time for my group to start fundraising for Blume. During that time I learned that I can do things that I never thought I could do. I have made great friends and became closer to the Lord through Acteens. I have been able to learn more about how to further grow as a young lady in Christ. I get to teach and see my sister and their friends grow in Christ and help them do more in missions. I have became more mission oriented. I have started doing more with the WMU group at my church, and being more involved in what they do. I try to do everything I can to help someone in need. One thing I have become super focused on is doing more missions involving the youth in my church. I started looking for things we could do. I found Nickels for Nets. We had a great time collecting money and were very proud of the response and support that we got from our church. I wanted something else to do and get even more people involved this time so I started looking again. A couple months later I got a catalog in the mail from Samaritans Purse, I started looking through it and I found a new project for us. We are going to start fundraising in a couple weeks, and I cannot wait to see how it turns out. Acteens has given me the fire to want to take this and run with it. Acteens has changed my life in too many ways to count.
