Rekindling Your Spirit

When I attended my first RYS, five years ago, I was in a personal crisis. Although I had been a follower of Christ for many years, I had tangled myself in a sinful relationship, looking for Godly love, but in the wrong place. Entering the conference, I was bent beneath the weight of guilt and shame. Paul’s teaching about addiction, and especially about relational addiction, pulled the blinders from my eyes. For the first time I had clear understanding of my lifelong “need” for close, nurturing relationships. I was trying to get a wound healed from the created rather than from the Creator. The healing ministry at the conference deeply impacted my life, and brought my first tastes of true freedom. Five years later I can testify to God’s healing power! Desperately, for many years, I had searched for a deep down inside sense of being loved. I longed for a way to silence the scream in my soul. I now live in the daily reality of that love and peace! Thank you Paul and RYS Staff!
