Here's a quick update from our time in Chicago so far...
We arrived in Rockford last night around 12:45am and spent the night at the Rock church. Gotta love sleeping on the cold, hard floor! Nah, it wasn't that bad, and it's an awesome blessing to be able to stay for free. We woke up this morning and had lunch at Medieval Times Dinner & Tournament. Such a cool experience to enjoy a Medieval tournament and feast! The students seemed to really enjoy it. We spent a couple of hours at a local mall before heading to check in at the hotel.
The conference got off to a GREAT start tonight! It began with an awesome time of worship led by the Steve Fee Band. It's always such a powerful time when such a large group of students come together to worship God. Tonight's speaker was Phil Gwoke, who was our senior high camp speaker from last year. He really connected with the students and shared very powerfully about how Christ came and identified with our struggles so that we could turn and put our trust in Him.
Please join me in praying that this will be weekend where our students are challenged spiritually and really come away having met with God. We have a morning session tomorrow before we break to go downtown. Then we will come back for the evening session.
