Belle attended KYCK for the first time this year and it changed everything. Though she grew up in a non-Christian home and hadn’t thought much about faith since Primary School, a conversation with her best friend sparked a curiosity about God that she couldn’t ignore. At KYCK, Belle encountered the gospel in a powerful and personal way. On Saturday night, surrounded by her youth group and hundreds of other teenagers, Belle made the life-changing decision to follow Jesus!
1. Can you tell us a bit about yourself—where you’re from and how you came to KYCK?
Hi, my name is Belle and I’m from Bathurst. I had known about KYCK for a while, but this was my first year attending. My best friend has been attending KYCK for a few years now and she’s the one who encouraged me to go.
2. What was your church or faith background before KYCK?
I grew up in a non-Christian household. I knew of religion and did Scripture in Primary School but when I was in Year 5, my parents decided to take us out of Scripture. Up until that point, I was very interested in religion but going into High School, it wasn’t something I really thought about. Last year, I was talking to my best friends and one of them told me about how God can help me. She never forced anything on me but that was a starting point in my relationship with God.
3. Was there a moment or talk at KYCK 25 that really stood out to you?
The talk that really stood out to me was the one Danny gave about freedom in Christ, he spoke about how Jesus has set us free so we shouldn’t dwell on our sins because Jesus has already paid for them. KYCK is such a great experience and I think everyone deserves to experience it.
4. We heard you became a Christian this year at KYCK! How did you feel when you decided to follow Jesus on Saturday night?
Saturday night was the best night of my life. Before we went into the night session, everyone was talking about Saturday night, and I eventually found out what would happen, but I still didn’t fully understand. Then Danny asked those who wanted to stand up and go outside, and I went out with a few friends from my youth group. The whole experience was amazing. I felt so close to Jesus and my brothers and sisters in Christ.
Saturday night was the best night of my life.
5. How has your life looked different since coming home from KYCK?
I have been reading my Bible more and understanding more how it applies to my life.
6. As the theme at KYCK was freedom, what is something that Jesus has set you free from?
Jesus has set me free from worrying about judgement from others. Jesus loves me and that’s all that matters.
Jesus loves me and that’s all that matters.
The last KYCK of the year is coming fast and so is the end of Early Bird!
