(continued from previous page) come together with love and compassion for one another and praise God together. “I’ve known these people just a few days and we are already having life lessons together and have learned more about one another than most people know. I am truly blessed to have been here, at Greensboro College, with these amazing people. After learning these many different styles and ways that Moravians can spread the gospel, this has made me go and try to make a difference in my church, my community and my home. “While everyone has a different way of looking at things, handling situations, a different personality, and a different way of praising God, we’re all one in our hearts and minds. For me, the week I spent at Convo was a beautiful, eye-opening experience! I will treasure the moments I had there, always. The time there was short, but much was learned. I love everyone I met there and will keep this experience in my heart forever.” Adult leader Tina Morse, Peace Moravian Church (North Carolina) “The young people of today are amazing They are enthusiastic, intuitive, and what I have learned from this experience is they are proud of their faith and will stand up for their faith until the end of time. Personally, I gained a stronger faith from being here this week. We came here as strangers, but are leaving as one big family in Christ. We shared our tears, our laughter and our personal stories about ourselves. We kept our spirits high even while enduring the rain. I encourage all youth to attend the next Convo. It is an opportunity that only comes around once in a lifetime.”
