The latest

A lot has happened since we last met here. Life is coming so fast right now that it's hard to remember to sit down and post all that's going on.

On the CYC front...

There are actually too many things to list that have happened, but here are a few highlights.

See You At The Pole and CYC are talking, which is a real good thing. I connected with the national FCA office recently, and they are considering promoting CYC to their network, which would be huge.

Moms In Touch, an organization I connected with while I was in CA, recently promoted CYC to all their state coordinators, and someone passed on an email that went out to their network that promoted CYC. This isn't a small network, they have thousands and thousands of chapters just in the US alone.

I'm currently working on trying to connect CYC with a handful of music festivals this summer before we try and hit all 60 of them next summer of '11.

On the NTS Camp front...

We had our last face to face meeting before this summer in Chicago at our new 'north' site for NTS. There were 15 of us there and there was some serious energy in the room as we talked about this June.

We've added several new churches to the mix, which we are excited about.

Poetice is trying to swing bringing our friend Richmann from Zambia with an orphan choir that will help us in worship a few times each week to celebrate changed lives through Reach4Life.

We celebrate our 10 year anniversary this year of NTS, some cool stuff on tap for that too.

On the Never The Same (non profit) front...

We are working on several funding strategies...keep praying for this. Lots of ideas, not enough time and focus to do them all.

We continue to move forward in partnering with Grey Matter Group, a marketing firm that has a heart for what we are doing.

I'll post this again, but I am wanting to bring together a group of people, particularly passionate about CYC together for a 1x a month prayer time on Saturday nights for an hour of prayer.

Here are the dates:
march 20, april 24, may 15.

I'll remind you later. For those on Facebook, keep an eye open for an invite.
