I always feel so incredibly blessed to be attending Texas A&M for many reasons, but there's one reason that is my favorite. Breakaway Ministries. Every Tuesday night, Reed Arena is filled up with thousands of college students all praising the name above all names. Unified as one. Although all come from different majors, hometowns, backgrounds, everyone has one thing in common, they are head over heels in love with Jesus. Can you even imagine something so beautiful? You have to come and see it for yourself.

Have Your Voice Heard: Become an Odyssey Creator

When you walk into this place, you are overcome with a sense of peace and joy. All of the volunteers are SO excited to see you there, even if they don't even know your name. They are welcoming and inviting to every person that takes a step into Reed Arena, and it is a place that makes you feel known, even if you are surrounded by strangers. Oh, how good it feels to be known.

The worship that is sung is absolutely breathtaking and makes you feel so close to God. As you are surrounded by thousands singing out the same words of praise, you feel as if you are alone with God, it is truly an indescribable feeling. It is a feeling of smallness that is needed and you can feel God's presence in Reed Arena.

The messages from Timothy Ateek and some guest speakers are absolutely remarkable! Somehow, the message is exactly what you need to hear or relates perfectly to your life in that moment. God has a funny way of speaking to you. TA says things in such a way that is relatable and comfortable, he makes it make sense. Having wisdom poured into you each week fills your heart up and prepares you to in turn pour wisdom into someone else.

At the end of last semester, we were able to see the number of people who found salvation because of Breakaway and were even given the opportunity to pray over them. So, even if you don't know who Jesus is, you are so welcome to come to Breakaway and experience what it is!! We invite you to come and join the Body of Christ. Breakaway isn't just working here in College Station, it is breaking boundaries and appealing to places all over the world, thanks to technology and live streams and podcasts online. So even if you can't be at Reed Arena in College Station at 9PM on Tuesdays, you can tune in during a time that is convenient for you!!

I think my favorite thing about going to Breakaway is getting to just take a step back from life for a couple hours. Life gets stressful. There is always something you are having to get done and sometimes it feels impossible to do it all. We get stressed out, worried, and anxious. Breakaway is a place of refuge and peace amidst the chaos of everyday life. A couple of hours each week to escape the problems of life and focus on the Redeemer, what a treat.

So, join us this Tuesday, January 17th, as Breakaway starts up for this semester, it's the place to be!! After you watch the Fightin' Texas Aggies win some basketball, Breakaway will be in full spring starting at 9:30. Come out and experience the joy of being unified with the Body of Christ on Texas A&M's campus. It's sure to be a night of praise, worship, wisdom, and love!!
