Thank you for your interest in Youth Winter Fest 2014!
One of my great passions in life is seeing Christians
from different churches, ethnicities, backgrounds, and
denominations come together in the name of Jesus. Just
like when small streams converge into a gigantic raging
river, there is something powerful that happens when
Christians gather together. Youth Winter Fest is just
such an occasion.
Guest Band: All We Are
January 10-12, 2014 hundreds of students from about
15 churches on Long Island, New York City, and the
greater New York area will come together for a weekend of fun, friendship,
and faith. I hope that you will be able to join us. If you are a Christian, this
weekend will be one in which you will be inspired and encouraged. If you
are not a Christian, this is a great opportunity to come and have a fun time
with your peers and to learn about Jesus and the Christian faith. Whoever
you are, our prayer and sincere desire is that you will leave this weekend
knowing that God loves you and that there are people who care about
you. Our theme this year is SURRENDER. Come learn, grow, and be
challenged with us.
All We Are is a group of God's
disciples desiring to be the hands
and feet of Christ. “Before we were
called into a band, we were called
to be Christians. Being in a band
simply gives us a new avenue to
work out our salvation and carry out
God's calling on our lives.”
The heart of these self-described
"musicianaries" is to make even
more of an impact OFF stage than
they do on it. They want each person to know how valuable they are to
God. Each person is loved and adored by God who desires to know them
in a deep and personal way.
All We Are have a special heart for youth. They want students to know that
they are the church of TODAY, not tomorrow. They want to help students
embrace God’s call on their lives, not when they grow up, but today. It's
important to the band that they challenge and empower students to go
forward and do great things for Christ.

SURRENDER
In 1994 Lamont O’Neil received the
release to actualize a vision which
God had given him. The vision
became a reality in the form of an
extra-curricular activity, namely the
Jr. High School 231 Step Team in
Queens, NY. Little did he know that
God had bigger plans. The extracurricular activity soon turned into a
ministry. But the changes from the
Jr. High School 231 Step Team to the Nubian Gents Step Ministry was
more than a nominal one. As an organization and ministry they have
traveled around the world utilizing step, dancing, singing, and even acting
as vehicles to express worship to God. Their team is captivated not by the
religiosity of Christianity, but by its reality and relevance to the world in
which we live. They are warriors of praise and leaders of worship,
equipped by God with talents, skills, and abilities which they use to glorify
Him and advance His kingdom.
