Finally had a chance to blog, but of course I left my camera at the hotel (charging). Hopefully, pictures will follow soon.
Wow...our travel day was intense. Basically I was awake from before church Sunday morning to Monday evening when I finally had a chance to crash. I had a few minutes of shut-eye on one of our flights, but other than that it was a really long day.
So far, this is what we've done:
- Travel across the country
- Have a great time meeting new people
- Contribute to a huuuuuge amount of food that will feed 5000+ families on Saturday
- Which we hauled all over St. Louis!!
- Watch a concert with Toby Mac
- Hear Greg Stier bring a powerful and challenging message last night - "Is Jesus my most embarrassing friend?"
- Worship with Starfield and Joshua Chavez Band
- Got challenged by Professor Mike Kipp and the Woman at the Well
- Went to first day of tracks today! Many had an awesome time...others had to be a little flexible with some logistics. (The NYC staff is doing an amazing job)
- Some of our kids met Greg Stier last night and Nick Messenger got his phone number!!
- We all got to hang out in front of our hotel last night for an hour or so while the fire department came and shut off the sprinklers that went off in a kids room! Don't worry, the room wasn't our district. But it was pretty great that while our group was waiting on the lawn outside to get back to their rooms to go to sleep at 1:30 am, the lawn sprinklers went off. Thankfully it was still hot and muggy out!
Pray for us tonight! We had some sleepy kids during the morning session because of the lack of sleep due to the sprinkler malfunction. God is moving in a mighty way, and I just pray our students would have hearts that are soft to his voice. This morning's message was so perfect for so many of our students, but some of them missed it because they were tired.
More to come later....

You're making me tired just reading about it!
Hi Curtis and Jane,
So how was David Crowder? Do you know how much I wish I had been there tonight? Don't even tell me if you went backstage. That would be too much for me to take. :~)
Seriously, I pray that God is doing amazing things in the lives of our teens. I pray that they can feel His presence, that God is alive and real. I pray the teens come back more transformed and further along on their journey of faith. I pray that you and Jane are experiencing God in exciting ways too. I am looking forward to hearing about how God was alive and at work in all your lives. May God bless you both with wisdom, energy, and insight to know when to listen and when to speak.

Hey Chloe!
Got your message last night (Thursday) -- it was our anniversary, so, yes, we were having a great time. We went out to dinner, and I had salmon with ratatouille! Very yummy. I couldn't find the newspaper on-line that you mentioned... Can't wait to see what you've written!
Love you lots,
Mom and Dad
Wow, Chloe, what a great piece of writing! I am impressed... and how nice of Kyle to give you such great material. :-) Your photo is great, too. Ms. Robbins will be lucky to get you! So sorry I missed your phone call last night -- can't wait to see you.
XOXOXO Mom
Had a great time seeing you guys in St. Louis. NYC was a ton of fun.
I have some pictures of the Vasco band playing on the One Audience stage I'll be sending to Jeff for you guys to post. I also took some pictures of Curtis on stage Friday night with Dave.
Love you guys. It was so great seeing you.
