Has anybody here ever been to an Acquire the Fire event? If so, I would love to hear your experience. I will make a quick summary of what Acquire the Fire is and what it's like.
I have gone to Acquire the Fire four times in a row in Lansing, Michigan. Acquire the Fire is an event hosted and created by Teen Mania Ministries, a Christian Organization directed towards teens and reaching to them about God. Every year they go on tour to host the events starting in about August/September and ending in April/beginning of May. The whole goal of the event is to spend 27 hours with thousands of people (teens) to worship and build a love for God and get away from the distractions of the "outside world."
At ATF, there are Christian Bands including Teen Mania's School of Worship who are the leading worship band, speakers, and dramas.The dramas are made in a sense to where teens can relate to the struggles in their lives and how hard it is to be a lover of God in these situations. The speakers are great. (My favorites are John Gray and Mike Guzzardo) They speak about the Bible and how we can become closer to God and how to deal with our daily teen life situations in a Godly manner. Worship is the best part. Every year I have gone, there is a special worship time where the love for God and the atmosphere get so intense, that it gets super emotional. It's truly an experience I cannot put into words. I don't think anybody can. There is just so much feeling, so much burning passion for God, it's truly indescribable. But I guarantee, it is a truly life changing event.
If you ever have the chance to go to an Acquire the Fire event, I encourage you to take it, no question.
