Blessed our those who are merciful

What an amazing night again.
God is really moving.
It's so good to hear so many of your thoughts already.

Please keep blogging and telling us your stories, not just about mannafest ,but what God is speaking to you about. What's happening in your town, your community. Let's really look out for each other and pray for one another.

We want mannafest to be a place where people feel welcome and part of a bigger community that really loves and cares for each other.
Let's really live out the BE -ATTITUDES!!!!!!

Love the idea about the team going out on the streets after mannafest. Let's pray about that.
Other people, let us know what you think about this idea.
God is doing something, let's make sure we listen to him.

Can I be honest? As i youth leader I've loved the possibilities + potential of an event like mannafest.. but Ive always found that what was going on on stage was lost by the constant chattering from the crowd... I know this was not everyone but it really spoilt it for me and others... i know of some young ppl who don't go now because of it... and i hadnt been from maybe about April last year...
but i decided to go on Sat past..to be honest expecting more of the same...
but...........
WOW!!!
its was amazing, God was in the House...
the worship was amazing, preach top class...axiom (who I am normally musically not a fan off) was excellent
This is the kind of event we need right in the heart of Belfast...
and its up to us youth leaders/pastor to challenge that to active expressions of Gods love to this needy world...

Maybe an idea would be for YFC to meet with youth leaders so we can work together to see this outpouring of God..translated to the 'big bad' world...just an idea!!
thanks mannafest for what you are doing!!!

wow what a challenge was thrown out and what a response concerning our attitudes towards others are judgementalism. A powerful night with powerful praise, God be glorified again and again each time raising the bar!! Be glorified lord!! Bless the leaders the workers the band the speakers and all those involved for your glory..amen...

it was mannafest with a difference! i have had a depression for a few weeks now but the emotion of god being there for me and the fact that i can turn to him no matter what is overwhelming. mannafest is actually important to me because i can go and let everyone know how much i love god because they all understand......unlike 1s at home!thanks for the team who work hard and the bands for the music that i love! love n prayers xxxxx

I was well impressed with the ATMOSPHERE at the February Mannafest, there was something different about the way our young people responded this time, the Holy Spirit was moving! My prayer is that this is the direction Mannafest will take!

mannafest was AMAZIN last night!! i didnt want to leave!!what luct said really has made a difference in me!it felt really awkward last night because i really good friend of mine was there and we have fallen out but God put the thought of my friend aside and let me have a good time worshiping him!!even though friends will come and go, God will stay forever!i felt last night that i was meant to go and say to you that west church in bangor west was doing a bible club during Holy week. but i didnt! we are running a bible club for younger people in the morning and our theme is 'lava lava island' letting jesus' love flow! in the afternoon we are helping out the estate near our church and cutting grass and just helping out the community and then at night we are holding a yought club at night for the older people!if i could ask you to pray for this and that we will be able to spread Gods word through what we do and speak, that no one will be hurt and that the numbers of children will be high so that we can show them how much fun they can have if they follow Jesus Christ Our Lord!!!
