Extreme South America General Assembly Style

Over the last year I, along with an amazing group of talented individuals, have been working diligently on the Extreme exhibit for the 2013 Church of the Nazarene General Assembly event.  Our desire was to show the world what God is doing through Extreme across South America and we succeeded.  Over the week that our exhibit was up, over 3,000 people went through and 1,200 people filled out response cards.  For me this was a dream come true.  Now the work truly begins as we work with those who are called to Go, Give and/or Pray in response to the call that God has placed on their hearts and lives.  My team has a huge job ahead of us. 

























Over and over people came up to me exclaiming that Extreme had the best exhibit in the whole hall.  I would have to agree.  Our replica of a South American city was inviting to everyone who passed by.  They were drawn in by our graffiti wall, our large buildings and they beautiful plaza.  The team was able to connect with people from around the world.  One of the most humbling experiences was to have an African pastor come through the exhibit and with tears in his eyes insist on praying for me and our minisiry.  God is so faithful!
For those of you who were unable to visit us at General Assembly you can go through our booth today!  See me in action :)

Before I close I want to give a special shout out of thanks to Ron Wentling (construction lead), Jami Gray (Designer), and Jay O'brien (Graphics Designer) for making this exhibit possible.  Also a HUGE thanks to the Mobilization team for all their hard work!  God is faithful!
