Free Chains gets bigger in Texas

I just got home from a weeks worth of traveling. I spent three days in Atlanta at the Catlayst Conference.  I haven’t even had time to digest three solid days of teaching, challenging, worship, meetings and praying. That might take  a while, but I’ll get it on here some time.

Yesterday I got to spend the day with a friend in Dallas and their youth group.  They are taking Free Chains, our project at World Causes,  as their youth cause for the semester. What was so great about the experience was that the students are doing all the work.  The youth ministers and parents are not leading it, the students are.  When I got there to speak, the students told me when I’d go on, what the time limits were and they had set up a table to sell All Should Be Free t-shirts.  They were talking about ways to get other youth groups involved, friends at school and family members. It was great to see a sense of ownership with the students.

I think we’ll be hearing great stories from this group.  So far, close to 200 shirts have been sold, which will benefit our safe house in Nepal. We will be able to make a great impact because of their work and suppot. Thanks Bent Tree for having me and for doing a great job for the Kingdom.
