WOW WHAT A WEEKEND IT WAS.
Refresh Weekend is an opportunity for young adults from all over New Zealand to come together and grow in their relationship with Jesus amongst other young adults over a weekend away.
Refresh was founded by an incredible group of people who have a heart for young adults in NZ. So often we are left to figure life out & find ourselves missing out on awesome weekends away where we can grow in our faith and meet other people.
This year being their second year running, I had heard about the weekend through my church. I signed up to attend as a camper as I thought it sounded like a sick weekend away! After some prayer & thought I decided to reach out to the Refresh crew to see if they were doing any merch for their weekend.
My intention for reaching out was to be able to create something around the theme of their weekend, ‘SALT & LIGHT’. Then to be able to donate from every sale back to them to sow into their vision for Refresh and young adults. I so love their heart and vision!!
The team's response was AMAZING! I truly believe that God worked in all aspects of bringing this project together.
The weekend just really was a blessing. To meet so many people who love Jesus and who were so encouraging of one another was just the coolest thing. The SALT & LIGHT tees were a really perfect addition to the weekend!
Through everyone who purchased a tee or any other merch over the weekend, has enabled us to donate $1000 towards being able to help people get to camp next year who may be struggling financially.
THANKYOU to everyone who grabbed a tee or merch, you have made it possible to help get others to camp next year!
This is what the heart for this brand is. Being able to partner with others and sow into your church or community and bring people to know Jesus.
Check out Refresh and keep up with when their next camp is! Plus, give them a follow on Instagram.

“You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot. “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.” Matthew 5:13-16
The opportunity to be part of Refresh has been an incredible blessing. I cannot wait to see what the future holds for Refresh and how many young adults will be impacted by the work they are doing.
OVER & OUT
Have an amazing week, & may you seek God in all that you do.
Blessings
