Girls BIC Encouter #65

It is both a privilege and an honor to serve as the Lay Director for the upcoming Girls’ Encounter #65. I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to serve alongside our team, our community, and especially our youth, as we prepare for a weekend centered on spiritual growth, Christlike transformation, and a genuine encounter with the presence of God.

Our Theme is “More Like Jesus” and our Theme Song is More Like Jesus, by One Voice Worship. Our Theme Verse is 2 Corinthians 3:18 (NLT) “So all of us who have had the veil removed can see and reflect the glory of the Lord. And the Lord—who is the Spirit—makes us more and more like Him as we are changed into His glorious image.”

This verse reminds us that the moment we turn to Christ, the “veil” that once kept us from truly seeing God is lifted. We begin to see Him clearly—His love, His character, His heart for us. As we draw closer to Him, the Holy Spirit starts transforming us from the inside out. It’s not about trying harder or being perfect; it’s about letting God shape us into His image day by day, moment by moment.

This transformation becomes even more real when life is hard. Over the past year, my own family has walked through many difficult health battles. These seasons have oftentimes felt overwhelming, where answers didn’t come quickly and strength felt thin. But God…… Through every challenge, Jesus proved faithful. He taught me what it really means to trust—to lean on Him when I couldn’t see the way forward, to believe that He was working even when circumstances felt impossible, and to count every single blessing He placed along the way.

Those experiences have made this theme deeply personal. Becoming “More Like Jesus” isn’t just a phrase—it’s what has carried me through some of my hardest moments. It’s what builds unshakeable faith, softens our hearts, and teaches us to love, persevere, and hope like Jesus does.

My prayer is that every participant who attends this weekend will truly encounter the life-changing presence of Jesus, surrender to Him, and leave with a deeper desire to reflect His glory in everyday life.

I am also grateful for the opportunity to serve alongside Fabian Lengacher, who will be leading the Boys’ Encounter Team. It is a blessing to collaborate with dedicated, like-minded individuals who share the same mission—to invest in the next generation and help shape young lives to become More Like Jesus. Together, we look forward to creating an environment where participants can grow, be challenged, and experience Christ in a deeper way.

Many Blessings, Breanne Rainey
