Conclave::Day 1&2

We've had a great time at Conclave in Atlanta this weekend! Francis Chan has brought the Word two nights in a row and this guy has done an amazing job leading worship. Our booth has been busy busy and I've met some super cool people! Here are a few of them:

That's my friend Kaiti talking about DE to some fabulous visitors!
And that's one stylish lady signing up for the newsletter :)

These folks were super fun! We had a great time talking about
how DE could minister to the students in their city.
I told you they were super fun!

This guy stopped by.

So I gave him some information, you know, the brochure, the card, a sticker or two.

This is me saying, "Have you had a Dramatic Encounter?"

This is him looking confused by the question.

Maybe he'll come back tomorrow; I forgot to give him a purple pen!

IMB Staff Luncheon

Earlier this month DE had the privilege of performing for the International Mission Board staff luncheon in Richmond, VA. I enjoyed meeting so many people who are so intricately involved with sending so many laborers out into the harvest. I learned so much about the process and the history of this great ministry! It was an experience I won't soon forget.

Chris, my fantastic hostess!

What do you hold on to that gets you through?

Pennsylvania Women's Tea

I had a wonderful time on my first trip to PA! Louann, Deb, and so many other women made my time in PA quite special. Thanks ladies!

Dramatic Encounter was a part of three womens teas and we were able to perform The Thread for the student ministry on Wednesday night. Check out the pictures!

The fellowship hall with lots of good food!

So when I picked up the giveaway prize for YS I also snagged one for Dramatic Encounter to use as well. This way I can share with all of you the exciting adventures of my travels!

Youth Minister Chris Dortch shares about Dramatic Encounter:



The second video goes to show you that at the end of YS things get a little crazy, youth ministers say funny things, and I say "Awesome" a lot.

Catching Up...Youth Specialties National Youth Worker Convention

Whew! Was this a great weekend, or what?! It was my first time to exhibit at this convention and I had a blast meeting ministers and lay workers from all over the country! For four days I was able to share my heart and the calling of this ministry with folks and I loved every minute of it. One of the most poignant moments for me was meeting Fred.

Fred is originally from Kenya and when he stopped by to chat I told him that my Mom sponsored a child in Kenya through World Vision and I sponsored a child in Zimbabwe. He then shared with me how World Vision had made in impact on his community as a child. He told me about the trucks he saw bringing in supplies, the children who were sponsored and were able to get an education they otherwise wouldn't receive, and how God was using World Vision to make a difference for Christ in Africa. I've long been a supporter of the ministry of World Vision, in fact, if Dramatic Encounter ever ceased to exist all of the company's assets would be donated to World Vision, so to hear this wonderful account blessed my heart and encouraged me in my continued support. If you would like to learn more about World Vision, sponsor a child, or make a one time donation, please visit their website.

Thank you to all of those that stopped by our booth and hung out with us. We really enjoyed the opportunity to share about what we do and we hope to be working with you in the next year!
