Young Mens Encounter is one night retreat for young men in high school to encounter God.

We are blinded by what the world expects of us, of what the world wants from us. We forget to think about what God has for us

Encountering God as an individual often involves stepping up and seeking the things of God - and that’s what Young Mens Encounter 2025 is about…
Fixing our eyes on Him and becoming SET APART from the world. Living in Faith, Living a life the God has for us.

We don’t copy the behaviours and customs of this world…
We are SET APART to live out Gods will for us!

WHAT IS ENCOUNTER?

Encounter retreats provide powerful Biblical teachings by INY & INChurch leaders that equip young men with an understanding of Biblical manhood and an opportunity to reflect on how to live set apart when they return home.

Key life topics such as vulnerability, family, repentance, sexuality (age appropriate), relationships, overcoming rejection, and embracing forgiveness give young men the chance to learn important life skills.

Most importantly, the weekend provides opportunity for young people to come to the cross of Jesus, leave their past behind, and embrace a Spirit-powered future where they make a difference in others’ lives.
