Real Stories

Stories From Past Event

"I spent years just going through the motions of my faith, feeling like I was stuck in a valley. This conference was the 'mountain top' encounter I desperately needed. I’ve learned that I had to stop settling for a shallow walk and to start chasing the heights of God's presence."

Alan Lancaster

Youth Pastor

"I thought I knew what it meant to follow Christ, but 4HG showed me that I was barely scratching the surface. It wasn't about learning new 'strategies'; it was about a deeper surrender. I’m returning home with a refreshed spirit and a renewed commitment to Rise Up in prayer and boldness."

Angelina

Web Developer

Fear had kept my faith small for a long time. At the conference, the message hit me like a lightning bolt. I realized that God doesn't call the equipped; He equips those who are willing to stand up. I’m finally walking with my head held high, trusting His path for me."
