Battlecry!!!!!!!

This past weekend,I went with our youth group to Battlecry in Dallas.Battlecry is a 2 day event bringing our youth together full of praise and worship,skits,good preachin' and devoting to changing this generation.Battlecry is put on by Teen Mania.Teen Mania is an organization with the desire for the young generation to passionately pursue Jesus Christ thru Acquire The Fire,global expeditions,and the Honor Academy.Teen Mania houses a few hundreds kids and is actually here in Lindale.
Here are some of the kids writing me notes on our way to Dallas-I had the older girls in my car,so it wasn't so loud and crazy!
Some of my girls-Rachael,Hailey,and Jessica!!
My baby got to go even though he is not old enough to be in the youth group-it is one of the perks of being a youth leader:)!!He had a blast!!!
Here we are-the band,Unhindered had us do some CRAZY worship-they were our worship leaders for the 2 days.It is sooo powerful to see over 7,000 youth praise God together!!!!!
Here is the guy who started Teen Mania-he preached on Jesus being a need in our life and not just a want.It was very good!!!!!
Leeland was our concert Friday night-anybody who listens to christian music knows that rocks-they were awesome!!I was really upset because I had to leave early on Sat. to photograph a wedding in Dallas--I missed Jeremy Camp and the Newsboys!
LEELAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Here is another time at worship time that everyone had to get as low as they could.
Here is Unhindered in worship mode--as you can see,our seats weren't that great-God really made me humble because i really thought we should have had GREAT seats,since we are like family to the Teen Mania kids!Jason and I go pick up Teen Mania kids in our church van since most of them don't have cars,as part of our ministry.We are so close to many of them!!Maybe it is because we waited too late to get the tickets-dont know for sure,but will talk to them for next year:)!!!!Battlecry was great for our youth!!I volunteer because I am soo blessed when I do!I love these kids and it is so important to impact them at this age-I urge all of us to do more for this generation-it is sooo vital!!!!!

Very cool! I am so glad you and your group to go to! I have been to several events for this year's ATF tour and they have been very powerful.

I actually work out at Teen Mania in Garden Valley and am very blessed to work with such a ministry whose heartbeat is to see young people passionately pursue Jesus Christ and take His life giving message to the ends of the earth!
