Thank you to everyone who attended our first-ever youth event
Wake Up Call
on Friday, April 30
Featuring "Atlanta's Hostage Hero"
Ashley Smith Robinson
1 Samuel 3:10 – The Lord came and stood there, calling as the other times, “Samuel! Samuel!” Then Samuel said, “Speak, for your servant is listening.”
On Friday, April 30, we hosted our very first event tailored specifically for church youth groups . . . and it was a blast! From hilarious youth leader challenges to entertaining drama and music to inspiring testimonies, the evening was truly one to remember.
One of the night’s biggest highlights, of course, was hearing from keynote speaker Ashley Smith Robinson, who told youth about her harrowing experience as hostage to Atlanta courtroom shooter Brian Nichols and the “wake up call” that event became in her life.
