RFM AdvanceÂ
Tell me Xavier, what is the RFM Advance?
The Reason for Me (RFM) Advance is a 40-day discipleship journey for teens who have a desire to…
- Grow their relationship with Jesus
- Understand more about God’s purpose for their life
- Connect with other ChristiansÂ
So, is an ‘Advance’ like a retreat or camp of some kind?
Well, we often use the word ‘retreat’ to describe a time of getting away to focus on our relationship with God.
However, because this journey takes place right there in your everyday life there is no ‘retreating’. The word ‘advance’ has the idea of ‘moving forward’. It is my hope that this journey will ‘move you forward’ in your relationship with God.
What topics are covered in the journey?
We’ll be covering some of the key foundations for your spiritual formation as Christian such as
- the bible, prayer, God the Creator, Jesus, the Holy Spirit and the church.
We’ll also look at some of those issue most teens struggle with such as
- peer pressure, identity, friendships and decision-making.
We’ll even explore some of the harder issues such as
- suffering, purpose and understanding God’s will.
What happens during the 40 days of the RFM Advance?
The RFM Advance journey involves a commitment of:
- Setting aside a quiet space for 40 days to do the RFM devotions.
- Joining the weekly 60-minute online discussion with other teens on the journey (Sundays at 16:30 CAT).
- Connecting with and praying for the others on the journey.
