NEXT ENCOUNTER WEEKEND- APRIL 2025
What is Encounter?
Encounter is a dramatic life-changing experience. The Bible gives us many examples of people who were transformed by their personal encounter with the Lord Jesus: the Samaritan woman (John 4:5-29, Zacchaeus (Luke 19: I-10), the Gadarene demoniac (Matt 8:28-34), and all the disciples of Christ.
After an encounter, they were never the same again! You may already be thinking of personal areas in your life or someone you know that would benefit by an encounter, or you may be in ministry and need to better understand how to assist others in becoming strong and vibrant believers, who display the splendor of the Almighty in all aspects of their lives.
It is our desire that every person who attends Encounter will seize the opportunity to experience God. The results will be manifested in transformed lives - lives that are set free, emotionally and physically healed, restored, and released into their unique gifts, talents, abilities, purpose and identity.
Sessions consist of testimonies and teaching by individuals who have received visible, manifested change in their lives, through a series of engaging, intensive, and interactive experiences and personal ministry, while attending their own Encounter Weekend.

Encounter Testimonies
Margaret has a heart and passion to see people set free through the power of Jesus! It drives her to serve, and she does it well. Working alongside Margaret you will be encouraged, challenged, and asked some pretty direct questions. She’s not afraid to ask the hard questions or speak direct truth into your life! I remember talking with Margaret about a personal situation and after listening carefully, she looked at me and said, “You are taking on false responsibility”. That moment changed my life. We were preparing for a weekend of ministry to see people delivered from bondage, but in that moment, she spoke such truth and freedom into my own life! I’m forever grateful God connected us in ministry and friendship.

I have known Margaret Youell since 2012 when she asked me to join her Encounter team. She is passionate and committed to seeing lives healed and transformed through the power and ministry of the finished work of the Cross and Resurrection of Jesus Christ. I have been privileged to witness this firsthand, both in ministry alongside her on the Encounter team and personally. She was a very important part of my own healing journey. Her compassionate abilities to partner with the Holy Spirit and her kind and loving heart were the instrument of love that was used to help me, and others find peace and deep inner healing. She is a mentor and close friend to me, and I honor her passion to minister the heart of our Father to the broken and hurting.
