A Word from a “Happening” Participant

March 2, 2024

“Happening” – What It’s Like

by Emelia

Happening to me was a very inclusive space where you could just be yourself and no one would judge you. Throughout the weekend we talked about God‘s unconditional love. The talks given by the team members helped me to better understand our theme “graves into gardens”, and that even in my darkest moments that God is with me and will show me the light. It felt amazing to be a part of something bigger and by the end of the week, I felt so loved that I did not want to leave and return to reality. Life is hard and at Happening there’s an escape and you can just be with God.
