LOVE GODLOVE OTHERS
Simple, but challenging. Sometimes described as two pillars of following Jesus, we explored the connective nature of our relationship with God and others while we learned what it means to live out His love in our world.

It was NYC1999 in Toronto Canada. I heard Janine Metcalf preach… the first time I heard a female pastor preach. The spirit moved upon sons and daughters. It changed my world! I’m praying for some world changing moments for so many of our teens this week!!!

We are not the future of the Church, we are the Church.

There is something powerful when over eight thousand youth gather to declare that Jesus is Lord! May God’s presence and love fill their gathering places, and their lives.
@fchambo
My prayers today have been flooding to God for all those at #NYC19GO. Prayers that the Spirit would saturate their lives for movements in the Kingdom we have yet to experience.

@joniandrick
It’s amazing to see 9,000 teens praising and worshipping the same God at once! God is good!
@AnnSarahh
#NYC19GO is something that truly no one can put into words. There’s no better feeling than praising out with our voices and up with our hands to our God with 9,000 other people who all feel the same & have the same goal, to be all in for Christ. God is still so alive & so amazing!!

It’s a bit awkward, but the bell-hop closet has been transformed into a meaningful place for the sponsors to pray for the MKs every morning.

It is easy to say that this world is really messed up and to believe that we have nothing to do with the problem. -@Shawna_SG Let us be active bringers of the Kingdom of God!
@trentdf
Holiness is not pretending we have it all together. Holiness is found in the realization of my broken messy life and pulls me into the freedom of life in Christ.

No matter the wreckage that we get ourselves into, God is always there with us in the pit & willing to restore us anew!
