BWC youth turn their faces to God at ROCK 2013
The face of God was reflected in the faces of the more than 6,500 youth and their leaders, who showed up at ROCK 2013, a Baltimore-Washington Conference youth retreat held Jan. 11-13 in Ocean City.
Greeting them, Bishop Marcus Matthews spoke about expectation and transformation, the theme of the weekend. The youth responded in faith to the worship, with music provided by Jeff Deyo and Urban Street Level, to the several workshops and discussions, and to the preaching of Reggie Dabbs.
Dabbs, an evangelist who started his life as the son of a prostitute who sold him to get money for drugs, told the group that “God has a reason and a purpose for your life. It’s up to you to decide if you want to be in it or not. All of heaven waits in awe to see the response of the kids at ROCK this weekend.”
At the altar call on Saturday evening, thousands of the youth came forward or raised their hands in prayer, their faces turned to God – transformed and expectant.
