Greater things have yet to come, greater this have yet to be done in this city...

Vancouver, BC (taken from Louie's blog)
The GM place without people in it but the stage is further into the picture.
A packed arena :)
A shot from the wayyyy back
Now this one is taken from my camera. We had pretty good seats but the camera isn't of high quality so the picture doesn't quite do justice.
Another one from my camera. I have more of David Crowder & Chris Tomlin but I'm too embarrassed to put them on here because they're really bad.

Last night was an amazing night. Megan and I drove up to Vancouver, BC for the Passion tour. David Crowder Band and Chris Tomlin performed and Louie Giglio (sp?) spoke. IT WAS AMAZING!!! Way too much happened and was experienced to try to express into words but I'm going to try to. For what I fail to describe, I will be sure to include pictures and the link for Louie's blog that also includes descriptions about the previous stops they have taken.


Chris Tomlin kicked off the night. He lead us in some good "oldies" and some newer, more contemporary songs. He did a great job of singing and really tying in all of the songs with the theme of the night.



Then Louie came and spoke about how our community of college aged people is a powerful one. We have the opportunity to witness and reach out to people on our campus. We used the analogy of how when someone finds that "click" with God, when it all connects is like switching from regular TV to high definition. He finished by reading a journal from a college girl who got caught up in the party scene. To make a long story short she roomed with a Christian girl. The roommate wasn't a pushy Christian but was there for Ashley, the college girl, when she needed her to be. One night after Ashley had a rough one, the Christian girl was the to talk to her. Long story short again, Ashley became a Christian and was killed in a car accident three months later. That story was a powerful one to not only me but non-believers about how powerful God can be and how He wants so much for us to get to know Him and His wonders.

David Crowder Band finished up the night in what seemed like little time at all. He sang some of his great songs and all of them happened to be on the CD Megan gave to me at the end of the last school year. I think David's singing hit me the most. I'm not a big "raise-your-hands-when-you-worship" worshipper, not because I'm embarrassed but just because it's not my style of worshipping. But when they sang "O, Praise Him," my hands just went up. It was a very powerful song that moved everyone in the building.

If you have not been to a Passion event, I suggest that you go whenever you have the opportunity! It was the most amazing worshipping experience I have ever been a part of. I got so much out of the night, most of it I cannot rely on this blog because it can't be described into words.

www.268blog.com <-- that is the link to Louie's blog. I recommend going to check it out because he puts into words what I cannot.
