‘I will never be the same’

From first encounters with Jesus to renewed faith and stories of healing, young people and leaders share what happened at Limitless Festival 2026.

More than 6,000 people gathered for Limitless Festival 2026, Elim’s summer gathering for young people. Across a week of worship, teaching, friendship and opportunities to encounter God, 554 young people responded to the gospel.

But behind those numbers are individual stories of lives touched and changed. Here are just a few of the testimonies shared after the festival.

One young person said: “I came to Limitless Festival not believing in God … then on day two my youth leader prayed for me … and then for the first time in my life I felt the Holy Spirit come inside of me. After that, I gave my life to Jesus that same night.”

A youth leader said: “For the past year I really struggled within my ministry as a youth leader and didn’t expect to gain anything from Limitless Festival. But God has met me in unexpected ways this week and has reignited my passion for youth ministry.”

One attendee said: “Last night, I also experienced healing after four years of chronic migraines and constant pressure in my head and it’s fully gone and healed.”

Another young person said: “When I came here, I thought that the horrible things that I had done in my life couldn’t be forgiven and that God expected for me to give everything and earn forgiveness. But during my time at Limitless, I realised that God’s love and compassion is greater than all my sins. And that because He loves us so much I can trust in Him and know my sins are forgiven. God moved on me and I will never be the same.”

As one young person put it: “I gave my life to Jesus and He has changed my life!”
