"Acquire The Fire"!!!

The "Acquire The Fire" conference in San Antonio was definitely a highlight so far in 2009!! 23 of us piled into two vans and had a blast of a roadtrip to hear some challenging speakers and worship with the likes of Phil Joel (former Newsboys member), Building 429, Sanctus Real, and Abandon!!

We were challenged to take the things in our lives that needed to be turned over to Christ and nail them to physical crosses that were set up across the auditorium!

There were lots of tears and lives were changed!




Joel Johnson reminded us of the power of the cross!

Aaron shows us which thumb was going to survive his upcoming bike accident (he broke his other one a week later)!!

Speak no evil, see no evil, and make no goober faces....

Off to lunch!
