ACSI Redemption Everyday HS Leadership Conference

At students were challenged to make every moment count and, in group planning time, create an action plan for putting all that they’ve learned into practice back at school.

If you were at this year’s conference, what plans did your group come up with? How are you committed to making every moment count? We’d love to hear your stories!

It truly takes a TEAM EFFORT to host the RE: Conference. From planning and registration to set-up/tear-down, production, media, lighting, sound, stage managing, and more(!), we are so grateful for each person who had a hand in making possible (pictured and not pictured). THANK YOU!

Shoutout to the 2022 RE:Conference worship team! They worked so hard in advance of the conference and while we were in D.C. to lead us in songs that intentionally set the tone and emphasized the topic of each session. It was obvious that the students were connected, engaged, and transformed in our times of worship. Thank you!

Worship time at included both music and art! Thanks to our amazing artist, Christine, for visually representing the heart and themes of on canvas throughout the conference.

Our speakers were asked to explore the implications of all humans being created in God’s image and God’s desire to restore all things to himself before examining the realities of technology, beauty, habits, and identity… and, goodness, they delivered! Each session was so powerful and we trust that all in attendance will leave D.C. energized by a renewed passion go make a difference in their world, community, church, school, and home. We are so grateful for our speaker’s passion, purpose, and desire to help students MAKE EVERY MOMENT COUNT. Thank you!

Shoutout to our sponsors! We love that students get the chance to connect with you and learn more about the opportunities your schools and services have to offer for their futures. Thank you for your support of !

Our 2021 re:ACT band awesome! They poured out their hearts on stage, blessed us with their God-given talents, and facilitated amazing worship sessions for the students. Thank you, Lauren, Alyssa, Ethan, Manny, Tristan, Chris, and Quincey!

Brandon Rushin (aka: Coach Bobcat and Hey Ya!) did an amazing job making us laugh, facilitating friendly competitions, and bringing ENERGY to the room this week! Thank you, Brandon Rushin Productions!

In our final session of the conference, Dave Stotts from Drive Thru History shared stories of young people around the world who devoted their lives to making a difference. He challenged students to ACT by living purposefully and courageously on behalf of others and the kingdom of God.

An amazing time of worship and performance art perfectly capped day 2 at re:ACT 2021. Today’s sessions featured Peter Greer, Ryan Ray, Megan Almon, Ryan Bomberger, Katy Faust, and Rebekah Charleston’s impactful messages to students about God’s plan and power to redeem. He is moving in this place!

“Who the Son sets free
Oh, is free indeed
I'm a child of God, yes, I am
In my Father's house
There's a place for me
I'm a child of God, yes, I am

I am chosen, not forsaken
I am who You say I am
You are for me, not against me
I am who You say I am” -Hillsong Worship

Thanks to American Christian Tours, students had the opportunity to see more of Washington D.C. this afternoon. Excursions included a monument tour and the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum!

Inspired by the Japanese art of Kintsugi, Tucker from Painting Freedom Ministries painted this piece LIVE during Sunday night’s session to represent God’s power to take brokenness and make it whole. His sovereignty is not seen in the prevention of suffering, but in the REDEMPTION of suffering.

Good morning from Washington D.C.! The room is ready for students to arrive and to experience another great day at the re:ACT conference!

Our 2021 conference in Washington D.C. has officially begun with a great night of worship, laughs with Brandon Rushin, live art, and an incredible message from Dr. Jeff Myers of Summit Ministries. With a focus on human suffering, students are being challenged to re:ACT and take an active part in God’s plan to restore and reconcile all things to Himself. Thank you for praying that transformation will take place in students’ hearts, minds, and lives during our time together the next few days!
