I'm an awful blogger! I apologize!
But now that I'm here I have such amazing updates!
Stating in August I became a part of the Acquire The Fire Ministry Team! A team of 34 men and women age 18-26 traveling the country putting on Acquire The Fire events! We did about 5 weeks of pre production where we did everything from cleaning cables to setting up lights and cameras. We worked A LOT! Sometimes we worked 15 hour days but we were all excited to be a part of something bigger than ourselves! My job on the team is the Switcher. Basically I sit behind the stage staring at a ton of video screens deciding what goes up and when!
On Sept. 23 we hit the road headed for Amherst, MA! I was sooooo excited to finally be on the road! To live on a bus! What an adventure! I wasnt sure how sleeping on the bus would be but that first night I found out that it's lovely! :) Besides the beds being small and a little hard (two big problems I know! But we fixed it with some extra padding) I slept REALLY good! The bus rocks you to sleep and the hum of the motor is wonderful!.... but enough about that. We stopped in TN at one of our staff members houses, his family BLESSED us with breakfast for dinner and then a buffet of ice cream! And then we stopped in MA a few hours away from our venue to hang out at a teammates house and his family blessed us with lots of food and of course, much needed showers.
When we arrived at the Mullins Center in Amherst we hit the ground running! We had a ton to do! We received a bunch of new content, our camera blocking (what camera gets what shot and when) was completely changed, we had skits that we'd never seen before added to our schedule. It was completely crazy! The enemy was trying hard to make things fall apart but the Lord had a plan! Finally doors opened and it was.... A rush! The event went smooth...For a first event :)
My favorite moment of the event was during one of the ministry moments. We about 500 youth at the alter the lights were, down, no distractions, the holy spirit was moving! During these moments we have our camera ops getting shots of the attendees worshiping to use for highlights. So one of our cameras was fixed on the young man, maybe 15 or 16, he was laughing! Laughing so hard he was in tears. You could tell it wasnt because something was funny but he was filled with the spirit. It was so beautiful! He started speaking in tongues and laughing more and it was just so beautiful!
After the event we spent time in Cape Cod at one of my teammates houses his mother spoiled us! The girls stayed in a cute little inn and his mom treated us to a harbour tour on a cute little boat! And we got the opportunity to minister to a local youth group!
Were now back on campus working on any changes that were made. And I am so ready to get back on the road again. We hit the road for a 5 week stint on the 17th! We head to Toronto, then to Chicago, Cleveland, Anaheim and Billings!
I think I always say this, but I will try to update more at least once for every event.
Thank you so much for your prayer and support!
