The Big Week Out 2009 saw nearly 300 Particpants and Leaders reach out to their local communities across Adelaide.Here are some of the things people said about their Big Week Out experience:

• This week meant a lot to me because it actually gave me an opportunity to show how much God loves other people through me and funny enough someone called me a tooth fairy because they were surprised they got something for free
• Learning to let God take full control, learning to be proud of my faith and seeing enthusiasm for God in youth
• Time to learn about Jesus, help the community, get to know new people and have an awesome time, Big Week Out Rocks!
• This week has been so cool, I never thought serving could be so much fun. It has changed my whole look of life.
• Big Week Out has meant a lot, it was great to meet heaps of Christian youth and to serve with them. I recommend BWO to everyone!
