It’s the small things…

It’s been a while since Passion 2010…almost two months. I went in to Passion expecting my reaction to be the same as that of the life changing epiphany in Passion 2007. I expected to be blown away by Main Session Worship, unable to contain emotions. I expected to be so pumped up that I would come back wanting to change the world in response to what I saw at Passion 2010. While worship was AMAZING, and while I learned so much about the character of God in those sessions, that’s not what blew me away this time.

In 2007, I was a freshman in college…18 years old. I was blown away by the “bigness” of Passion. I was blown away by twenty-thousand college students in one room. I was blown away by the power of that movement, and while that still blows my mind it’s not what pulled at my heart this time.

Over the past several years, smaller more intimate relationships have been placed on my heart. I knew when I arrived at Passion, that I would be a part of a “family group,” but only by the grace and power of Jesus did I end up with such awesome men and women of God. It was so refreshing to hear the question, “What’s Jesus taught you lately?” It was so uplifting to hear these wonderful people praying for me. One morning I came to family groups so excited about morning worship! I had understood John Piper. As I was expressing the excitement to my new friends when a member of our group said, “Yes! I’m so glad because I prayed that for you this morning!” They prayed for me when I wasn’t around, though we had known each other for only hours. That changed my heart, and every time I get a message from our “fearless leader,” my heart gets a little more excited.

While I’ve always believed Passions was an AMAZING ministry, now I believe in the Passion movement at ALL levels. From the twenty-thousand in Main Session, to the eight new friends gathered around a carpet circle somewhere in the GWCC.

I believe that is the power of Jesus, and the heart of a 268 Generation…
