Wrecked

Last night at Mainstage we were called to the foot of the cross to raise our white flag of surrender.

And as I've been talking with our crew today it seems pretty clear that during the day yesterday, none of us expected the night we experienced.
Judy Peterson, the campus pastor at North Park, brought the fourth question from Jesus and she asked us, "Do you want to be well?"
The night was an extended opportunity to lay down our burdens and fall at the feet of Jesus. And so many of our students were willing to answer "Yes! I want to be made whole."
We were laughing at the end of mainstage when we were gathering to trek back to the dorm because we all looked like we had been beat about the face with the big emotions stick. God is at work and change is afoot.
Right now is a huge moment for you to join in prayer with our team. We have students who have started telling stories about drugs and parties and wanting to walk away from that double life and be consistent in living like Christ. We have a loads of students wrestling with sexual purity and saying no to porn and unhealthy relationships. We have students who have been holding onto resentment and bitterness and are wanting to let go of that weight and sickness. And not just when they get home. God is at work right now reconciling us to him and to one another. And we have a few students who feel like they are in the outside looking. They are the ones who want Jesus to show up powerfully but for now God seems unresponsive and distance.
Now we have the hard work of charting next steps for change and growth that will go with us into the next months and years. Please pray loads and buckets with us over the next 24 hours.
