Some of the highlights from Reengage 2007 was seeing people come and be refreshed, reignited in their passion, faith and understanding what God’s purpose is concerning the different spheres of society and stepping out in a renewed determination to go back to their places of work to make an impact and linking them with organizations of like minded people.

Jo Skinner - UK
The speaker that stood out for me the most was Rory Brown. Just the fact that he understands that life is so integrated that there is no divide between the art and his family and his work as a teacher, it is all holistic

Marietta Johnson - USA
what I gained from reengage is that God is a person, he is real and he is not a God that is far away. At reengage I saw the glory of God revealed in such a powerful way than I have experienced before during our creative worship times. What I got out of Reengage is faith and the reality that God loves everybody.

John Mansour - EGYPT/USA
Reengage for me was an encouragement to see people of like minded passion, desires and skills wanting to change the world. It was refreshing to see people that have a background in education and years of experience that I learn t quiet a bit from. It was humbling to see people have the resolve and commitment to their respective nations from all over the world and to transform them. The biggest take for me was just knowing that when I am in the thick of it, there are other people like me that are striving for the same and to know that I could email them or stay in touch with them for that kind of encouragement.

Dayo Anani - Senegal
Reengage was very good for me because I came looking for encouragement and just been amongst people that was like minded. Reengage challenged me to act on the things that I have been thinking of in the past.

Hans-Christian - Germany
I have enjoyed reengage tremendously and the best part is that God is looking for our heart first before what we do. I take this revelation with me as I work in the business of YWAM. I realize work and results are important but more important also is our personal relationship with Him. Having Integrity and been obedient in little things creates the path for doing big things for God.
