It's Here!!!

Well, the week of TheMix '08 has finally arrived. It's hard to believe this is the 5th year we have held this event. The excitement and anticipation of this annual weekend has been extreme, if not overwhelming. This year will be the biggest and best yet. We are bringing 200+ teenagers to Iowa City...WOW! Just looking at that number I am amazed at the favor of God upon our ministry. I remember when Justin and I first came to the Rock...there were a whopping 7 kids at the first Wednesday night service...most of which were his cousins! About 2 years later we challenged KYC to have 50 teens in service. It took a few weeks, but they did it and we celebrated with Maggie Moo's. Now we are averaging 200 teenagers every Wednesday night. These past 5 years have been nothing short of a move of God, and I can't freakin' wait to see what He is going to do over the next 5 years! Pray for our leaders this weekend. It will be a long, tiring weekend, with lots of Starbucks in-hand I'm sure. But we are expecting God to ROCK the lives of teenagers so they can go home and begin to change the atmosphere of their families, schools, city, nation...there's no stopping a dangerous church!
