I left the house disposed to live each moment of that retreat, God would change all that I was living or I would never again return to church. ..<\/em><\/h2>\n<\/blockquote>\n

It was a year ago, 30 of August, 1 and 2 of September, I was living each moment of the First “Retreat” of Jesus Revolution Alfenas, Minas Gerais, Brazil, in which my life would never be the same after I left that ranch.<\/p>\n

I already made various retreats, in the moment in which I was there \u2013in retreats \u2013 it was all good. However, when I returned to the house days later, that love that I had experienced passed. I found it easy to live the things that the world offered. Many times my college professors spoke that God did not exist that I would be able to live all, not having “that” \u00a0“superior being” to command us all the time.<\/p>\n

Enter and know how to make a Jesus Revolution Retreat<\/span><\/p>\n

With all this, I began to live all that I had not lived until the present moment I found in drink that I was not able to understand or that maybe filled that void that I felt. Already I rarely went to mass and when I did go my partying friends waited for me at the doors of the church more than one night. Each day, I got better only to get worse. The relation with my parents already was not the same, I did not accept anyone telling me that I was wrong. How many times I fled from the staff of the University prayer group.<\/p>\n

But God who loves us and never abandons us, already had prepared to the conquer me at once. <\/strong>In that weekend of the 30 of August, 1 and 2 September of 2011, it was a day marked by Him. I left the house disposed to live each moment of that retreat, God would change all that I was living or I would never again return to church. He really surprised me.<\/p>\n

Each test that I experienced, I thought. . . <\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n

I was never going to be the same anymore, I want a new life!<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n
