Passion::DC

Matt and I returned Sunday evening from a weekend in Washington DC. We were there to host 3 new friends from Paris, France as they experienced their first Passion conference. These are the guys (and girl) who will be integral in making Passion::Paris a success. What a weekend it was! I certainly understand why Passion's heart is specifically for college students - no one else would have the energy to start at 9 am and sing, dance, worship, and pray until midnight!

I think our French nationals had an incredible experience and walked away with a spiritual boost and renewed vision for their own ministries, not to mention an increased enthusiasm to see Passion come to Paris. We also had some really productive meeting time with them, which laid the groundwork for our upcoming meetings in Paris (we leave next Thursday).

This was the first Passion conference for Matt and me, as well, and it was amazing. I can't describe what it's like to watch 3000 college kids join together in our nation's capitol to worship Christ. Louie Giglio does a much better job, so check out his blog.

And if you know any college students, send them to Atlanta the weekend of April 11-12. That is the final US Regional conference before Passion heads out on their World Tour. After that, we'll see you in Paris in June!
