Two Students Accepted Jesus at BigStuf 2025! In our 20th year attending BigStuf, we witnessed God move in powerful, personal ways. Camille and Gracie both gave their lives to Jesus—and many more students experienced renewal, healing, and hope in their faith. This year’s theme, “The Flip Side,” invited us to see life through a different lens. We explored how doubt, disappointment, and failure don’t disqualify us—they position us for grace. From Thomas’s questions to...

Will you help support a student on mission? We are so thankful for those who have given and are continuing to give. Your generosity has already helped students travel across the country to share the love of Jesus. But we still need additional support. This year, students from The Walk Youth Group have served in New York City, Los Angeles, and San Francisco. They’ve prayed over firefighters, comforted the grieving, and shared the gospel with strangers. They’ve stepped out of...

Would you consider financially supporting our students as they step out in faith to share the love of Jesus? We’ve been so encouraged by the number of students who are growing in their faith and saying “yes” to opportunities to serve. Over 260 students have joined us for youth group this spring, where we’re discipling them each week and helping them build a strong foundation in Christ. They’re now putting that into action—through our recent mission trip to San Francisco,...

Why do you think God brought you on this trip? (Bigstuf Day 5: Journaling) I think God brought me on this trip because he knew that there has been some distance between us. From all the sports and practices, it has made it really hard to be consistent with him. But being on this trip with some new people and some old people has made me realize that we can make time for the things that we truly care about. - written by a student that attended Bigstuf

Bigstuf 2024 The Walk Youth Group Building 229 Thomas County area ministry

I am building my house on sand. I’m not satisfied with the house I am building. My house is a house that seems like it’s always under construction. Last year BigStuf was the prime of my life. I felt close to God and I was genuinely happy. After school started, I was so caught up in homework and sports. I never took the time out of my day to regain my connection that I used to have. I’m still super happy. Currently, I surrounded myself with people who better me. But even though I’m...

Bigstuf 2023: Why did God bring me to camp this week? I feel like God brought me back to camp to lean back into him. For about 3 to 4 months, I was falling astray from him. I wasn’t going to youth or church. I was not digging into scripture like I previously did. And a lot of that had to do with my community and not allowing myself to accept the forgiveness that God gives me. So overall, I believe God brought me here to lean into him and ask for and accept forgiveness! When I go back home,...
