Next Generation Children's Conference

Well, we had an AMAZING weekend! We had our NEXT Generation Children's Conference that WE put on here @ Journey! We had 10 different churches represented from 3 different states! Friday night we kick off with a great opening service! We had 100+ people for the opening night. It was powerful, emotional and set the tone for the whole weekend! Pastor Eli from Faith Family Church in Texas spoke and we had some powerful videos from our children here @ Journey! Then Saturday we had sessions, break outs, worship, dramas, and a great time connecting with Children's workers, pastors & leaders!

Then to end the whole weekend we had a huge Kid's Craze Saturday night! Parents and kids met at the church at 5:30 to go pick up their friends in vans, cars & trucks to bring them back to the service! We had an absolutely AWESOME service! The worship center was decked out with tons of balloons and banners to bring an exciting atmosphere! We had around 150 adults and almost 225 kids come out for an action packed service. I mean ACTION packed, top notch, creative, energetic, all hands on deck service! We had tons of kids from the community and parents! 72 kids and adults responded to the altar call to give their life to JESUS! WOOOOOOOOW!!!! That's what it is ALL about reaching families and connecting them to the life source, JESUS CHRIST! It was one of the BEST kids services I have seen!!! We had live worship, crazy games, videos, a great message by Pastor Eli, and more! It was off the hook!

Then this morning Pastor Eli spoke at church and it was great! God did an amazing thing this weekend! Now we are all passed out and resting (well at least me)! Our people did some amazing things this weekend with greeting, helping, serving, leading, speaking, praying, food coordinating, bookstore, registration, etc... We had an amazing church that is rockin' and rollin' for JESUS!
