I was proud (in a good way) to watch 1,600 students crowd into our main auditorium last night to be part of ONE NIGHT PREMIERE - a spectacular outreach for students across our region.
It was led by Pastors Jon Brown (pictured above right - click to enlarge), Gabe Mills and Ben Korinek and supported by 200 of our volunteers. What amazing guys we have to lead our student spiritual life here.
Amazing give-a-ways -- a chance at $15,000 if you could sink 4 baskets from half-court within 25 seconds -- a car smash -- super-inflatables -- graffiti spraying on the side of a semi -- pizza, pizza, pizza -- celebrity look-a-like and best dressed contests on the red carpet outside (I got to be a judge) -- cutting edge videos -- story testimonies from students who have been changed by Christ -- hip-hop dancers and music -- great worship -- and a clear Gospel presentation where 100 students responded.
I love the way our leaders care for students and the passion they have to connect them to God.
It was a great night, evidenced by the scores of cars waiting in line a block away to pick up their students at the end of the evening.
And be blessed.

I am not familiar with our other pastors, but I love P. Jon! He is so positive and so happy all of the time. I'm sure it rubs off on the young people he works with. BTW, he is a wonderful preacher, too! I've heard him twice and he made an impact.
