    Sleeply in Seattle

    Posted on Friday 20 March 2009 by Greg @ 2:57 pm
    Filed under: Conferences

    I’m tired. As I type this blog from Hampden Inn I’m unusually drowsy. Fell asleep after 11 last night and got up well before 5 this morn.But in a few short hours I’ll be wide awake as thousands of teenagers from Washington, Oregon, California and Canada gather at the Key Arena to get equipped to share their faith this weekend.

    Pray with me that these young ambassadors of the gospel will be fully equipped and mobilized to reach their friends for Jesus. Pray that tonight, during the drama, many significant and life changing decisions are made. Pray for the entire D2S Conference crew to all be healthy, awake and filled with God’s Holy Spirit as we seek to minister to these teenagers this weekend.

    Time to Shred in Seattle…

      • Dude,
        It amazing me how I saved and sometimes we all wondering why we got saved and you know what we are soo glad we got saved from jesus and jesus sometimes took us away from negative form of life. You know.. I was in the mall today and I just saw small form of friends, four girls and they are like maybe about 11 year old girls and what they wore was totally not apporiate for them. They wore like really short jeans pants and other stuff.. It is sad how young girls just like follow in the footstep in media. Im just glad that im not follwing the media or tv or other stuff. I am proud that I am following the footstep of jesus and is glad that I got saved.

      • Mahalo nui loa (thank you very much) from our little Hawaiian ohana that made the journey to be blessed at Invicible Seattle. If you got that much resolve to do what you did on stage sick, then I want to come and see well. We had a wonderful time and the kids all grew spiritually with the blessed help of your Dare 2 Share team (and after watching you folks work together I do mean TEAM).

      • Oh my gosh!
        this was my second year at D2S. And i am just so pumped! last year i bought the dare2share book, and this year i bought the Shredding the Gnar book!

        All of your speakers are amazing, everyone from the main guy (you) to Arron, who didnt have that many individual speaking, but did an amazing acting job.
        Im just so happy i could go for my 2nd year, and im so excited for Blaze next year.
        Keep up the amazing job.

        Dare2Share is an amazing program, and i hope for the best for it. Every dollar counts in the offering
        Your son is so cute for giving the $38 thats awesome

        I cant thank you enough, and i will keep you, and all of the D2S workers in my prayers

      • This years dare2share in Seattle was my first and it surely won’t be my last. That changed my life so much it’s amazing. I before this weekend was living my life horribly addicted to many different drugs and because of dare2share I know I have quit all drugs for good by the help of Jesus Christ and using his strength to power me over the drugs. Before I always tried to do it by myself and always failed. By letting Christ use his power through me I know I can quit and help others quit too.

      • I had an awsome time this year at D2S. It has only been my second year going and i cant wait for the next year. I was wondering if you had like an email address cause my friend in DYING to talk to you about her mom. She really wants her mom to accept jesus but her mom wont listen to my friend and talk to her. It would mean the world to her if she could talk to you.
        Thank you so much for a great D2S

      • Hi Greg:

        We brought three teens from north Idaho to our first Dare2Share. It won’t be our last. Thanks so much to you and the whole team for reaching our kids (and us!) in a way they’d never experienced. Jesus is real to these kids now in a way He wasn’t before. We’re trying to get a youth group going up here, and D2S has given us some spectacular ideas to reach these kids who live in the trees. We’re shreddin’ the gnar here! See you next year in Seattle.
