_d2x3783.jpgSummer has been super busy for me with vacations, conferences, weddings, speaking engagements etc that I have not had a chance to blog as much as I’d like to talk about what many have come to know affectionately as GENCON. What a ride! Its hard to believe we have been doing it for 11 years now. What’s even more amazing is the strategic relationships that God has brought to the conference over those years. As the founder of the event there are some comments I’d like to make. So the first one is what i am blogging about today. Direction and obedience from God.

I’ll never forget starting the conference. Honestly, if there was a conference like we are doing now I would have brought my kids to it…but as i scanned the Christian youth happenings there was nothing that caught my eye, nothing that got my heart beating faster, nothing that said to me “yes! I’d like to partner with that.” First, Id look at all the charismatic events and say, “oooh a little too out there for me.” Then i would look at the evangelical world and would say,…”a little to gimmicky for me.”

All I can say is WOW. What a great 3 days. It was such an honor to be part of such an amazing event. God is so good.

Highlights for me.

1600 kids passionate about God – learning how to love God and love others more.

Hearing Joyce Meyer for the first time – she can preach. I was very impressed I think to often she is thought of as only being a woman’s conference person. She brought it Thursday night.

Hearing, meeting, talking, and getting my picture taken with one of my heros Ed Young. I was blown away by Ed. I used to respect him after this week he took my respect for him to a new level.

Being part of a big team that belongs to a church with big vision.

The Jumbo video screens (the media geeek in me)

Knowing the video’s were projected by a mac (the Steve Job’s loving media geek in me)

Talking with old friends and meeting new ones.

Knowing that the next GenCon is at least 1 year away and not 7 months away like this one was.

Meeting Ed Young, He so nice I had to mention it twice. (If you have ever heard Ed speak, you know he loves to rhyme).

What are you best memories of Generation Conference 2007? We would love to hear from you.
