The National Gathering was quite an adventure... Getting around took courage and street smarts, but the payoff was fantastic , with some amazing teaching, music and drama. Like Workcamp, God was there in Orlando, and some of the things we experienced are things that He will be using to shape us into His new creations!
Read on for a brief photo journal that will give you just a taste of what we experienced...
Dateline August 1st...Well, at this time the gathering has wrapped up with a real bang, and our Chosen crew is getting ready to go to the Northern IL District event at Wet'n'Wild water park. We depart our hotel at 5:30am (ouch!) tomorrow for the trip home. Below are some images (click the image to super-size it) from the first days, in approximate chronological order. It's been an exhilerating ride!
