What is an Encounter?
Jesus said, "If you hold to my teaching, then you really are my disciples and you will know the truth and the truth will set you free" (John 8:31-32 NIV). An 'Encounter' is a weekend of meeting with Jesus we need to be free from sin, the past and the world. An Encounter Weekend is a time when we focus on learning to be set free by the power of the cross and then being filled with the Holy Spirit to serve God whole-heartedly.
