Luis Palau's Tampa Bay Festival

This pass weekend was awesome Luis Palau's Tampa Bay Festival was held March 3,-4 it was fun being a volunteer! Crosspointe Church was just 1 of 550 churches there and Crosspointe sister church Calvary Chapel St. Pete (made that up) but we do a lot together so I consider them part of my church and they were there.

I personally talked to 13 kids about if they understood why they were raising their hand for after the invite for Christ was made. I just kept it simple and didn't go in to much I just reassure them that they were going to heaven no matter what happens in their life from this moment on. I even had the pleasure of talking to a Godmother and see all 4 of her Godchildren get save!! That was so awesome.

Saturday March 3, it rain for 8 hours and you have never see worship until you see 40,000 people worshiping in heavy rain and cold weather. What was funny was the rain stopped when Luis Palau took the stage and preach for like 30 mins or so then it started back up when he was done! TobyMac took the stage and rocked the festival.

Sunday March 4, it was like a bright summer day very hot (strange weather) I had fun helping 200+ little kids get on a inflatable slide (my church did inflatable slide, jumping things) it was awesome to see kids from age 3 - 12 so happy. On the main stage Kirk Franklin was awesome and 100,000 people all were hugging each other praising God. Chris Tomlin took the stage and it continue and it was a awesome time.

During both days there was a guy doing the kids stage so we shut down every 2 hours for that. He had a wooded dummy and was having fun with the kids but his puppet was mouthing off about how he didn't need the guy and could do things on it own. The guy said without me you have no life then he took his hand out of the dummy it went limp. The he told the kids that is how we our without Christ I was like choked up that was very powerful. We are dead without Christ! Other words we are dummies with out Christ!!
