Trendsetters 25 | A Life-Changing Encounter in Christ

Trendsetters 25 (TS25) became a transformative journey of faith, fellowship, and formation, bringing together 32 young participants for a profound encounter with Christ. Held from January 27 to February 7, 2025, at the Don Bosco Retreat Centre in Lysterfield, this discipleship programme was specially designed for those who had completed Year 12 or their first year of university. Through deep spiritual formation, wisdom, and knowledge, TS25 empowered these young hearts to build a strong foundation in faith and discipleship.

TS25 was more than just a retreat or theological study—it was a dynamic experience of faith in action. Participants were immersed in an environment where they could deeply encounter Christ, discover their true identity, and form meaningful relationships rooted in faith. While structured sessions and teachings provided spiritual depth, the heart of the programme lay in embracing the joy of life in Christ. It fostered an atmosphere of complete surrender — letting go of the past, trusting in God’s divine plan, and stepping boldly into a future guided by faith.

The impact of TS25 was evident in the heartfelt testimonies of the young people who said 'YES' to God. As they journeyed together, they found not only spiritual nourishment but also a community of like-minded individuals walking the path of discipleship.

With Matthew 6:33 as its guiding verse—"But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you."—Trendsetters 25 proved to be more than just a program; it was a life-changing encounter that inspired a new generation to live boldly for Christ.
