yeah, contrary to popular belief, N.O. is ready for a gathering. Downtown and the french quarter look as if nothing ever happened. lower ninth ward and new orleans east are still pretty bad, but just think of all the servant events.
Be a YAV! I had so much fun being a YAV this year, and they could always need more volunteers! I'll probably be a YAV in 2010 and I'm excited for that.
When it gets closer to the Gathering, there should be something on the website. I filled out an application on the website around September, got an acceptance letter in February, and I got assigned to a group June/July. You have to pay some money to go, but my church helped out a lot by paying for my transportation. It's so worth it though!
I was at CHOSEN!!! It was simply amazing! One of the most moving and inspirational events of my life! And this man, whatever his name may be, has been given a gift from God. I screamed so loud when he finished that I couldn't talk for an hour ;)! I wasn't too far from where you made this video. Thanks so much. And thank you God, for choosing me.
The song is called "You Are My Hope." Thanks for sharing this. I was playing guitar in the house band while he was doing it and couldn't really watch it. Praise God, it came out beautiful!
I'm SO GLAD that someone posted this! Thanks a lot! I was busy running around at this part and couldn't really watch it. I could....but I couldn't. But this was so amazing!
Sorry Joe Castillo is his name.

It wasn't the Jesus Painter that did the sand art. It was a black guy.

I wish I could go to the 2010 gathering. I was in both the 2004 and 2007 gatherings, and I'll be a few days shy of the age for adult volunteer. :[

HAHAHA! Florida too humid? Man, humidity is like Minnesota's middle name. Well, if it had a middle name.
I'm from MN too, but the Gathering was way worth it!
