This year’s theme is “Surrounded!”(Hebrews 12:1). The theme “Surrounded” has a dual meaning. The first meaning is that we live in a world surrounded by sin and other negative forces. Secondly, we are also surrounded by the presence of God and His heavenly armies, so we do not need to fear!

We have special guests who are joining our young adult retreat 2022.


  • Guest Speakers – Captains Emmanuel & Jennifer Masango: they are our new territorial youth & candidate secretaries.
  • Worship Leader – David & Jenna Grace May: Jenna and her husband, David, travel together leading worship and sharing the love of Jesus all across the county. (More information about them: https://www.jennagracemay.com/)
