IGNiTE 2007

From IGNiTE 2007 -...

IGNiTE 2007 (Aug 25)
In Fall 2005, I helped rally the various ministry teams at Grace to organize an outdoor worship concert in the middle of campus at NC State. We've learned and grown a lot through this. Our ministry teams have enlarged their vision, involved new people, and raised the bar for excellence.

I'm especially proud of our Production Crew. They manage to put on a pro-quality worship concert complete with audio, lighting, and multimedia production - all without hiring outside vendors. The best thing is that most of our production equipment is borrowed, donated, or has been purchased at ridiculously bargain prices. These guys are definitely on their "A game".

This fall, we're repositioning IGNiTE as our central fall kick-off event for NCSU's campus. We've done this 3 times before, but this is the most ambitious effort yet. Every incoming freshman will receive a mailer, plus our advertising team will blitz the campus during the first week of class so that every student will know about IGNiTE 2007.

• Pray that every ministry team member will be yielded to God's Spirit, zealous and timely in their preparation, and fully supplied with resources, help, and God's grace.
• Pray for 1000 people to come through IGNiTE and 100 new people to connect with Grace.
  
• Pray that God provides abundant new leaders ready to lay down their lives for people and the gospel. (Pray especially for students desiring to serve in teen ministry and freshmen leaders.)
  
• PRAY FOR GREAT WEATHER & for all the details to go off smoothly!!!!!!!!

HSLT 2007

HSLT 2007 (July 21-28)
We head out to Myrtle Beach this Saturday with 8 students and 2 leaders for our annual High School Leadership Training conference. This is a week packed with awesome fun, fellowship, and spiritual growth. No other place have I seen so many teens passionately worshiping God, soaking up the Word, and dedicating their lives to Jesus. The students not only learn about Christ from some powerful and relevant speakers, but they also go out and practice sharing their faith hands-on in Myrtle beach - alongside their peers. This is the week where we see some of the most intense spiritual breakthroughs in students' lives.

• During HSLT, please pray for the students and leaders from Grace, as well as the students & leaders from our sister church in Woodstock, GA. (We'll hang close with these guys all week.)
• Pray for life change and spiritual breakthrough.
• Pray for students and leaders to develop a passion for the gospel and bold leadership.
• Pray against distractions, conflicts, and attacks from both ourselves and our adversary.

Thanks so much guys! I pray that God is blessing all of you. I know you can't all be here, but you play such an important role in what God's doing here. Prayer is especially a powerful way to make a difference. Thanks again!
