“I don't want to be a plastic christian, have a comfortable life and go to church on Sundays. Simplicity and sacrifice, 24-7 church. That is RAW I really want to show off that I'm a christian, especially that I'm part of the Jesus Army!”
JOSEFA, OXFORD

“RAW helped me to know more about myself, to know more about the people I'm working with. It's up to me to come up and acknowledge myself, to realise who I am.”
BACO, LONDON

“I've really drawn closer to God and found his love in a deeper way. Everyone's so at one when we worship God, it's made me be free and made me want to worship as well. Now I'm not afraid to do anything God calls me to: I'm unashamed.”
RUTH, NORTHAMPTON

"I've never had this experience before. I've met so many different people. They are very, very crazy for God and when you see them, you feel like joining it. I feel very new and energetic.”
RAJ, NEPAL

“My highlight was seeing a friend get freed who has been battling for years. She was desperate for God and pleading for Him. When we prayed for her, I felt God's power, proper electricity go through me too; I found freedom too. After that she felt free to dance, so I threw myself around as well.”
VICKY, SHEFFIELD

“RAW is about doing what Jesus actually said, rather than making an airy fairy thing out of it: serving people, bringing people to Jesus, being real with what it says in the New Testament.”
ANTHONY, COVENTRY

“RAW was outrageous, different, counter-cultural. RAW is about being contagious for God even when it hurts. Persevering even when you've lost hope, for the glory of God and not for myself.”
EMMALINE, BRIGHTON

“I love worship, I love to pray. I feel joy inside and I feel love. I love seeing people being together. I see people forgiving each other. When I pray I feel at peace, it's good to pray and worship Jesus.”
ROMAN, SLOVAKIA

“One afternoon we went out to a local estate, painting a subway, and we cleared someone's garden. These local little kids just joined in with us. It was absolutely beautiful. RAW was not about trying to be something I'm not; it was about being totally real with myself.”
JESS, NORTHAMPTON
