Wow! Greg it is awesome seeing groups from PA commenting and leaving their thoughts. This past weekend I was able to connect with several churches from PA (my state) and I’m looking forward to networking with them in the near future and passing on your revised D&W thesis. You know it’s my desire to equip teens and youth workers to…”Shred the Gnar” right here in my home state. Pray for me as I continue to connect with youth workers from the East Coast.

Hey Greg,

I am a Youth Pastor in Souderton P.A. The weekend was a huge blessing to our youth! Two years ago a match was lit when at a very low point in my life and ministry (that little spark of hope was a book called ‘ministry mutiny’). Then God blessed me with a new church position to serve as a Youth Pastor, which then led to the grenade being thrown (D&W and E-Team launched). Then this past weekend the ‘BOMB’ went off! 62 people from the Youth Ministry were impacted by God relationally and relentlessly moving in a very raw and real way! Thank you for D2S, because we are feeling the aftermath of God’s truth blow our minds this past weekend. Thank you for challenging me to not just bring a few kids to the conference the first time round, but to bring the whole group! God honored this move of faith even when I was thinking I am a crazy for buying 50 tickets. In the end I needed more tickets!

At the Youth Pastor session you talked about evangelism closing the gap on the double life of teenagers. I was thinking about it and this phrase came to mind: “Taking the double dare kills the double life”. Again thank you.

In Christ,

Pastor Andrew
Souderton, PA.

Hey you guys did an awesome job and God is shaping your ministry the right way. The information was not rushed and it was organized and while there is so much to tell The children of God you controlled the desire to put too much into a weekend. I am disappointed that you are not coming back to the NE region next year. My youth are totally upset. While in some respects I understand your reasoning, continue to lift that up in prayer because each year we reach new youth and an event time spent with God can be so good even for the leaders…I claim that victory already that God will change your heart and if it is about numbers consider the time of year. You are competing with 2 other events one on the same weekend and one the following weekend. Our youth need to hear the passion for the Gospel and you are the only conference that really focuses on this as well as discipleship. I loved that too you really focused on discipleship this weekend.

Keep up the good work and may you start a much needed revival in our country through the youth who so desparately need it. The great Revival that JOnathon Edwards is credited with starting was started with in the Youth of the era and I believe the same will happen in today’s culture! Please continue to lift up our ministries and our youth that the fire that was started this weekend may continue to burn and spread and that the enemies would be held at bay!

Thanks for what you do! We hope to see you next year. I may right more about what happen this time last year and where I was and how that has changed so much and how God faithfully brought me through!

Be Blessed my family in Christ in everything you do in His name. Continue to claim those victories He has given us to claim!

Continuing to be a Spirtual Pyromaniac For Him!

Ron

Ken, I think that was Fee’s stuff from the Passion Tour. Sorry, I’m the guy who doesn’t know much about that sort of stuff.

Hey Greg,

The Conference was awesome. I pray that my teens stick with the vision and “Shred the Gnar”. They are excited to share Christ with their friends. I also wanted to thank you for the challenge you gave to the Youth Pastors like me.

I had a question for you if you know the answer. At the conference the worship had motion backgrounds with the worship words programmed into them. I know you can get them at igniter media, but I am looking for the ones that went with FEE and I can’t find them. Can you help me?

Thanks,
P. Ken

Both of my kids went (16 year old son, 12 year old daughter) and they took our neighbor. Our neibhor (14 year old girl) came to now Christ last Sunday morning in our church service. As we all know, as a new Christian, we are like spounges. I couldn’t think of a better intruduction on how to go all out for God (Shreddin-the-gnar). When she got to our house tonight for youth service, she brought an IM transcrip of a friend that she just had spoken with. I wept as I read how she not only talked to her friend (one of the five she had listed from the confrence) what Christ meant to her, but she aslo explained to her friend that this newly relationship that she has with Jesus is aslo available to her as well. Her friend started off in the conversation by saying that this thing wasn’t for her. By the end of the conversation her friend was asking if it was OK to come to her youth group next week. God is good.

Hey Greg! Once again I enjoyed every minute of dare to share this past weekend! (the invincible tour nov 7 & 8th 2008) i think the invincible name for the conference was perfect! that is exactly how i feel right now! everytime i leave this conference im a new person! im determined for it not to fade this time! my faith doesnt fade, just the fire in me fades. so i came home from church today,i spent the night at my friends house after dare to share so it was the first time being home since the conference. i didnt call anyone for the cell phone challenge while at the conference, because all my freinds were there, and my friends that werent there, they know jesus. when i came home, i felt like god was telling me- amanda; u have numbers to ppl at college and ppl at work. tell them! so i texted this girl in my speech class and probably sent over 20 diff txts. her thouts were that when we die we are ghosts. she doesnt believe in jesus or the devil. and i got all the way to the end asking her if she wanted to accept jesus into her heart and she responded by saying i dont believe in jesus and i dont think i am going to change my mind. I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO! If u have time out of ur busy schedule, maybe you could give me some advice on this. I dont know what to do! But this weekend was amazing.
