IGNITE Retreat 2025 Recap: A Weekend of Renewal and Revival
From October 24–26, over 110 high school students from 12 local high schools gathered in Marble Falls for the annual Ignite Retreat– a powerful weekend of worship, teaching, and community. Guided by a dedicated team of 16 young adult leaders, students experienced a refreshing time of spiritual growth and connection.
Throughout the weekend, Sam Langenbahn led three impactful sessions on Revelation 2 and 3 in a series titled “Letters to the Church.” His messages challenged students to consider what it means to live faithfully and love deeply as members of Christ’s Church. On Sunday morning, Rob Billingsley wrapped up the teaching series with a moving talk on the church at Philadelphia, encouraging everyone to persevere with steadfast faith.
Worship, led by Isaac Pittman, set the tone for the retreat-powerful, Spirit-filled, and deeply unifying. On Saturday, students had the opportunity to participate in eight breakout sessions focused on discipleship practices, each led by passionate leaders who equipped them with practical tools to live out their faith daily.
A special thanks to those who generously give to One Day Closer, your generosity made it possible to provide 10 scholarships to help cover student registration fees-ensuring that more students could experience all that Ignite had to offer.
The weekend was marked by powerful times of worship and prayer, laughter, new friendships, and a renewed sense of purpose. As one student shared, “Ignite reminded me that we’re not alone in our walk with Christ-we’re part of something bigger.”
Ignite 2025 was more than a retreat; it was a glimpse of the Church alive and on fire for Jesus.

ODC FOR THE CITY!
Last week, our ODC interns had the privilege to serve alongside NACC ( North Austin Christian Church) in putting on our annual kids camp. It was a joy to serve the local kids and families and to get to see the fruit of what God is doing in our city!
Our interns and families just returned from a week spent serving with @makariosint in the Dominican Republic!
Our team had the opportunity to serve local communities, build relationships, and witness the incredible ways God is at work through Makarios.
