My Tres Dias experience was life changing. If I had to sum it up in one word, it would be “Redemption”. I found more than salvation. I found God’s grace, mercy & His everlasting love. I found a family.
Seventeen years of my life was dedicated to the U.S. Marines and the word God was just another word in the dictionary. I knew about God, but I didn’t know Him personally or His power. It wasn’t until I experienced my Tres Dias weekend, that His Word became alive and I felt His power, His presence, and His love.
The very first song that was played on my weekend which was “Good, Good Father”, and it brought me to tears. The lyrics of that song hit me like a ton of bricks. I felt convicted, shame, lost, broken, unworthy. But by the time the song ended, I felt freedom, I felt loved; I felt the warmth of God’s love healing and mending all the broken parts inside of me. I felt Redemption!
