Attleboro, MASS July 8-10th

Well, God opened up the flood gates of heaven this weekend …in more ways than one. From the get go in Attleboro Mass – the odds were stacked against us – at least in the natural realm. It pretty much downpoured for 3 days straight (which you think would really ruin a conference where 3000 teens gather for a weekend held completely under tents). But here’s the kicker – you’d never know it was an issue. If this was a concert or a girl scout rally it would have been canceled -- but it wasn’t. This was about several thousand teens crying out for God’s Glory. And it was flippin intense. I’d say of the 4 conferences I’ve hosted this summer – this one was the most intense. There was just something about the way we prayed this weekend that was authentically desperate. And collectively that was beautiful. My favorite moment was on Saturday night as we began to worship and simultaneously a deluge of rain was released over us. It was just such a amazing visual during worship – as we begged for God’s glory to fall. A special thank you to everyone at the conference. You guyses really touched me this weekend – especially in the fact that I didn’t hear one complaint in the midst of all that. Thank You God for being really cool.
