Love Out Loud

I thought I would give an update from the outreach that we had a couple of weeks ago. On Friday, February 11th we had an outreach called "Love Out Loud." It took place in one of the dorms on campus (Wonders Hall), and it was a music outreach... our worship team/music teams help to put it on. To give you a quick picture, it was a coffee-house atmosphere, with live music (both secular and Christian music) centered around the topic of God's love. And, there was coffee provided too :) The people playing the music shared parts of their stories on how God's love for them has impacted their lives.

Here is a quick picture for how "Love Out Loud" actually looked...
There are some video clips, as well as some pictures too. (Hopefully this will give you a picture for how the event turned out.)













Here are some videos from the night:


The MC's gave an update for how the evening went


Steph, Genna and I sing/play "Revelation Song"


Andy, Drew, and Jon sing "Never Let Go"


A short clip of one of the student's (Drew) stories, before he sang. This will give you a better picture for what the night looked like... people would talk about their stories, God's love for them, and then they would share a set of a few songs afterward.


Erica, Cidney, and James sing/play "How Sweet It Is"


Drew, Andy and Jon sing/play "Your Love Never Fails"


This is what the room looked like, as people were free to mingle with the people around them, drink coffee, and enjoy the music


Rob enjoys his mocha as the evening goes on. :)


Thank you so much for partnering with me in prayer over this event. It was a HUGE success as I watched God move in bigger ways than I expected. He was definitely at work in the hearts of students. We were amazed to watch as roughly 150-200 students flooded the room throughout the night, and came to hear about the Love of God. One of my more specific prayers that I had throughout the week was that non believing students would come to the event, and that it wouldn't be a place that just believers/Christians would gather. Our heart behind this event was that God would reach those who needed to hear the Gospel and His Truth, and that the environment would be a friendly place for them to come. Well, He did just that.

After the evening was all the way through, I heard several different stories of people that had very intentional conversations with people, about life and the Lord... and how He is at work. Thank you for all of your prayers... I know God was working on Friday, and He is continuing to work in the hearts of students.

It is so cool to see transformed lives here, watching Him draw students to Himself. Thanks again, for investing in the lives here at Michigan State. I really appreciate your prayers and support. I love being a part of what God is doing here.
