Denver LoveMercy 2009 Day #3 Thursday, December 31, 2009

Well it's now over. Denver LoveMercy 2009 has come to a close, but what an incredible experience it was! I'm thankful for the opportunity to have served in this event. I praise God for these kids and I pray that his Love and Mercy would be shown through them.

The morning session opened up with Matt LeRoy who spoke of the greatest redemption story in history.

He was accompanied by an OKWU student who painted the story out as he spoke. Pretty amazing.

The Kristian Still Band rocked the house and loved this event so much they released one song that they had never played live or recorded before!

The kids were then challenged again to go out and LOVEDenver. A believe me they did. I was blown away by the hearts of these kids.

Kids carrying hats, gloves, scarves and socks to anyone who needed them.

"We are an army of LOVE... I am, You are, We are the Kingdom"

And to wrap up the night, Jamie Toworkoski, founder of To Write Love On Her Arms delivered another beautiful message for the night.

Goodnight Denver.

LOVEDenver Day 1 Tuesday, December 29, 2009

Today Denver received some LOVE from the kids at LoveMercy 2009. But before all that, we had a message from Scott Simmons and during the afternoon seminars kids were split up by age and gender to go over some relevant subjects. The kids weren't given a rigid structure, but were simply asked to go out and "LOVE" the city of Denver. The only thing provided were roses which went way fast. So the kids got creative and did all sorts of things.

I feel really bad, but I forgot this lady's name. But basically she runs the 10 year program to end homelessness in Denver. Part of the LoveMercy Convention this week will involve homeless outreach and literally just LOVING on Denver.
