Harvey attended Spark for the first time this year. Having never been to a Christian conference before, he wanted to deepen his faith and knowledge of Christ and found Spark to be a life-changing experience.
1. Please introduce yourself and tell us a little about your faith journey.
My name is Harvey Barrett. I’m 19 from St Peter’s Anglican Church Seven Hills.
Last year I was feeling quite lonely and without much purpose. I was exposed to Scripture in school so I knew of Jesus but didn’t have faith. I started to read the Bible a bit and I had a high school friend who wanted to start going to church, so I went with them for a few weeks. I decided to change to the church I am at now (for various reasons) and have grown and deepened my love and relationship with Christ. Now I see how amazing trusting in Jesus is.
2. What made you want to attend Spark?
I wanted to attend Spark as I had never attended a Christian conference before and thought it would be a great opportunity to deepen my faith and knowledge of Christ.
3. Describe your Spark experience! What was a highlight for you?
The Spark experience was amazing! Can’t wait for next year. The highlight was the amount of people all gathered to worship Christ and praise God through song.
4. One main takeaway from the weekend?
One main takeaway from the weekend would be this quote from Preston Perry: “Boldness isn’t about doing things people are afraid to do; it’s about doing what God empowers us to do. It’s not a personality trait but obedience to God.”
5. How have you been living differently after Spark?
I have been trying to be more open in sharing my faith with others, having conversations at work where possible, and being holy, for God is holy, holy, holy.
