ABSECON, NJ, (BRN) – One Hope Church in Absecon, New Jersey, hosted a three day, two night event where I took six of our young adults out for our “Fan or a Follower” winter retreat.
We cooked all our meals at the place we were staying at, had our gift exchange, played games and had our Bible studies after each meal on the second day.
The first day was more of an intro, but it mainly consisted of two main sessions, first figuring out the difference of being a “fan” of Jesus or a true follower/disciple of Jesus and, second, what it means to actually be a follower/disciple of Jesus using Luke 9:23 and a book called Not a Fan by Kyle Idleman.

The gospel and a call to follow was presented on the last night and six of them responded to truly follow Christ. Most of our young adults are saved already, so it wasn’t exactly a “gospel presentation” but more of a call to follow and rededicate their lives.
