Can you imagine worshipping with 36,999 screaming, dancing, smiling youth and young adult sponsors? Can you imagine ten jumbo screens – a huge band under the leadership of Peter Mayer, lead guitarist for Jimmy Buffet – dancers – rappers – jugglers – explosions of color – fireworks and a Bishop in a bathtub?
You might think that it is awe inspiring, jaw dropping and loads of fun, and you’d be right. But, it is also very emotional – tearful even. To see so many of God’s youth filled with the joy of believing can really make me cry. I cannot tell you how much I love the 16 youth from Abiding Love that attended the National Youth Gathering. They were a powerful example of what we really are – a people alive with the spirit of Jesus, justice, and jazz! I thank them for the honor of worshipping God with them.
