On Friday the 26th October, the young people of MAD@first (with their leaders of course) headed off to Coleraine University for PCI's 14th MAD weekend. Although it is the 14th MAD, We had never been to it before, so we weren't sure exactly what to expect...
And it was.... Amazing! The music, the speaker, Duffy Robbins, the seminars.... everything was Amazing!
So it started off on Friday when we went to the University with cars packed full of people and luggage. We registered and went in to Diamond hall which was full of people.... and I've gotta tell you, it was the most uplifting and incredible thing to be singing and Praising God with 1200 other young people and leaders. Duffy spoke on Zacheous on Friday, Mephibiseth and David on Saturday and LiveLove, LivePassion on Sunday.
It ended on Sunday with everyone going off into their youth groups and discussing how we might Live Love as a group, and we decided to go into nursing homes in the area to talk to the elderly some Sunday night.

It was an amazing experience and I want to thank the MAD14 working group (including - our - Laura, who made all sorts of cool videos and graphics, and our MAD@first hoodies that nearly everyone we talked to asked about!) and allll the MAD14 crew, and last but not least, our wonderful MAD@first leaders - without you it would not have been possible!
Many thanks and God Bless.
