Each winter, the Southern Union hosts its annual Prayer Conference at Camp Kulaqua in High Springs, Fla. The event brings together high school students from across the southeast for a weekend of worship, prayer, and fellowship. Meetings, small-group discussions, and shared activities encourage students to refocus their lives on Christ and strengthen their spiritual walk.
This year, students from Mount Pisgah Academy attended the conference, joining peers from throughout the Southern Union territory. The weekend provided opportunities to form friendships, engage in meaningful spiritual conversations, and step away from the routine of school life to seek God more intentionally.
One Mount Pisgah Academy student, Emma Sorrells, had previously attended the conference as a small-group leader. While she appreciated the opportunity to guide discussion and encourage others in her first year, she chose this year to participate as a group member. Initially uncertain about joining a group of unfamiliar peers and engaging in deeper conversations, she soon found a welcoming environment that fostered openness and spiritual growth.
The featured speaker, Taurus Montgomery, Atlanta, Ga., Berean Church associate pastor, reminded the students throughout the weekend that they are “made for more,” challenging them to embrace God’s purpose for their lives. Daily worship services also left a lasting impression. Many students expressed a renewed freedom in praising God openly and wholeheartedly.
The conference concluded with a baptismal service in which more than 30 high school students publicly committed their lives to Christ. Among them were two Mount Pisgah Academy students, Kellee and Omdeep. Their decision to follow Jesus through baptism made the weekend especially meaningful for their classmates and friends.
Students returned to campus with a deeper understanding of God’s calling and the value of Christian community. The experience reinforced the truth of Jeremiah 29:13: “And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.”
For Mount Pisgah Academy students, the weekend at Camp Kulaqua served as a reminder that faith flourishes when young people gather to seek the Lord together.
