Where Are All The Christian Singles?
One of the main questions I always get is Where Are All The Christian Singles?
I am always amazed at how God specifically shows up at our Christian Singles Retreats.
It’s such a time of encouragement, edification, and truly when the bible says to “ let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another,” We are a community that meets together and truly encourages one another.
Even right now there is still a buzz from The Friendsgiving Retreat and so many new people joining The Hub and posting things like “Let’s start an encouragement train” and everyone engaging with so many people they have not even met yet. Encouraging them, Edifying them, and building them up.
This is what we are called to do as the body of christ “Therefore comfort each other and edify one another, just as you also are doing.”
I am so thankful that God has given us this vision to run after. That He knows what His people need, and that He is using us to help bridge the gap for Christian Singles. So Where are all the Christian Singles?
They are in The Hub, They are at Retreats, They are at our local In Person Events. Those are the Christian Singles who aren’t just complaining about where are all the christian singles? But they are taking action to meet others that are likeminded in morals, values and who are in the same season.
So often as the organizer you are so busy with your hands in it, that you don’t see specifically what God is doing, but every once in a while you get a little glimpse of it.
Here are some testimonials we received from the retreat, that showed me a little glimpse into how God met with His people this past weekend. Where Are All The Christian Singles? They were at our Friends giving Retreat
“What I loved most about the Friendsgiving Retreat was THE WORSHIP & short Bible Study!!! 😮💨🙌🏽😭 literally wrecked me, hadn’t worshipped so deeply in so long & it was exactly what I needed! God replaced self-condemnation with healthy conviction that leads to repentance, and He healed my broken heart & brought me back to a place of truly trusting & loving Him.
Now I’m finally back to getting up earlier and starting my day reading scripture again (& without even trying!), & I also keep catching myself praying on a deeper level and genuinely appreciating God again. It’s been a really rough season lately & in the middle of worship the breakthrough I needed finally happened. I’m even starting to hear from God again for the first time in I don’t even know how long. Also it was amazing that the bible study and worship came after we had been given time to relax, have some fun, get to know each other, and disengage from the business of life…”
“Every time I tell someone about my experience this pass weekend, I am flooded with emotion. The pure genuineness of everyone that was there so nothing I had ever seen before. I walked away with a new found relationship with Jesus and connections that I pray will last through my rest of my journey.
I am so excited about the community that I am now able to be a part of. Its exactly what I didn’t even know I needed. The way peace and faith has just shown up in my life is so unbelievable and utterly remarkable. I can’t wait to see how having this kind of encouragement and support will take me from here. Thank you all for seeing me!!!!!! I truly appreciate it! “
Don’t you love watching what God does. He truly is working in the lives of Christian Singles. Yes you may or may not meet your spouse on a weekend retreat, but you meet Him and that is so much better than any spouse could ever fulfill.
I would encourage you to not neglect meeting with other solid Christians, remembering that even if it doesn’t turn out how you expect it to that our job is to encourage one another, to edify, to comfort, and that our words can go so much farther in someone’s life than we could have ever imagined.
We can bind together to lift each other up.
So Where are all the Christian Singles? They are doing what the Lord has said to do – gathering together, comforting each other and building each other up
