Meet Via Perkins from Salem State University
BWC 2011 Via Perkins from CCCNEHQ on Vimeo.
This is what she had to say after BWC:
"I was a little nervous to come to BWC, and not sure what to expect. I had been on weekend retreats before, having grown up with youth group at Grace Chapel in Lexington, MA, but this was much longer. Also, I came not knowing anyone, which was hard because I am fairly shy. But I was happy at how genuinely friendly and non-cliquey everyone was. After going to the seminar for artists of faith, I was so excited to find out that for the first time, I felt like I was understood on a soul level - meeting the speakers and kids who loved creativity and had that slightly offbeat, right-brained sort of mind and introversion, yet were strong Christians was amazing. All the speakers and seminars were encouraging, challenging, and inspiring, and the day of outreach was a real growing experience, as well performing in front of everyone. I also made the decision to apply for a summer project, which is a pretty big thing, and I'm excited about it."
Students like Via would not experience life change and real community at the Boston Winter Conference without your prayers and financial giving. Thank you!
