If you missed our Vision 2010 video this last weekend, you’ve gotta check it out. We made a BIG announcement regarding a new location for Experience Life in the next year or so. We are beginning the process of raising funds for the new campus & we hope to raise everything over the course of 1 year. The video gives all of the details.

We are only a few weeks away from one of the largest events that Experience Life has ever hosted! In the past, we’ve been unable to do a Christmas Eve service because we only had access to the Sportsplex on the weekends.  But this year, we’ve decided to take Christmas Eve to a LARGE venue where thousands of people can join us and we can all celebrate the birth of Jesus together. That venue is going to be the City Bank Auditorium next to the Coliseum on Texas Tech’s campus.  This venue will hold 3,000 people and so we thought we would only need 1 service but due to the overwhelming response we have already gotten, we’ve added a 2nd service to make sure we don’t have to turn anyone away. The floor area at the 5pm is already packed and we will begin filling the balcony next.  At 7pm the floor area is getting close to capacity as well, so make sure you get your tickets soon (they are free & can be picked up at the Experience Life Information Center on the weekends leading up to Christmas Eve).

I can’t wait to see what God is going to do as we celebrate our 1st Christmas Eve together!  Each weekend leading up to the Christmas @ the Auditorium, our band will cover a popular U2 song and I will talk about what Christmas is all about.  I hope you can join us each weekend leading up to Christmas Eve.  Tell your friends, your family, and everyone else you know about the party at the Auditorium and grab as many tickets as you need this weekend.

I’m looking forward to seeing you there!

Wow!  At the beginning of the year, our staff began to pray that God would double the number of commitments to Christ from 2008 in 2009.  We helped 250 people put their faith in Christ in 2008 and so we began to pray that God would allow us to help 500 people experience a life-changing relationship with Jesus in 2009.

To be honest, I’ve always said that I believe that God can do anything, but this seemed a bit far-fetched.  500 commitments to Christ in one year?  That just doesn’t happen.  But we began to pray corporately, as a staff, and individually that God would radically change at least 500 lives in 2009.

Well, I’m excited to tell you that after last weekend our total commitments for the year is now 504.  It’s hard for me to believe this even as I am typing it.  And what’s crazier is that we still have a month to go before the year is over.

God told us at the beginning of the year to “Expect the Impossible” and now we’ve seen it again!

Thank you, Jesus, for allowing us to be a part of this incredible work of God in our city!
