Read full description

Night Break is a custom social / mindfulness / prayer app created with the greater Metropolis of Boston Camp community in mind. Tens of thousands of young adults from across the United States, especially from New England, have grown up attending MBC. Night Break's first feature, the Candle Stand, is the first of many functions that echo the teachings and memories many have of their time at MBC. It is also a general prayer/mindfulness tool that can be used by anyone, especially those who are tired of being sucked into hours-long scroll sessions on social media. Future versions of the app will contain features requested directly from the community.
