Jesus Christ is Lord!

The Gathering was a blessed event!
1200+ youth registered!
1800 + in attendance!
250 volunteer workers (pray-ers, counselors, security, technical, set-up, clean-up, & Chick-fil-A, etc)!
20+ churches involved!

Everything went smoothly...
- The skateboarders and BMX bikers jumped and flipped and the Lord protected them!
- The music was awesome!
- The testimonies were moving!
- The drama was excellent!
- The preaching was exciting, evangelistic and exactly what the Lord wanted us to hear!
And even the tear-down & clean-up was done by folks with happy faces!
AND
At least 15 young people prayed to receive Christ as their Savior & Lord! Many more rededicated their lives, prayed and got right! We've received reports that on Sunday, even more young people went forward at their respective churches to profess faith in Him!

And our wonderful Lord Jesus Christ got ALL the glory!

NOW... If you have a "the Gathering" T-Shirt, please continue to wear it - in public! You just might get an opportunity to talk about what happened at the Gathering and witness about Jesus. Amen!
