NEXT GATHERING DATES!!! 9/13-->9/28??

OK Guys...
Really need to know your thoughts on the next gathering. This will not be exactly like gatherings from the past. We are looking to not only have times together but also include at least 2 (if not a lot more) 'Awaken events'. We are looking at these events as a sort of "unveiling" for the future of Awaken. We will probably premier some of the videos as well as the web site. We are still totally in the concept phase of this but we would like to set the dates. We are currently looking seriously at September 13th-->28th. The reason for this is because many of the Awaken crew are out in Taiwan and they have a break in this time period and it would give us plenty of prep time on this side of things. Let us know your thoughts and/or suggestions please!

AWAKEN in Co. Springs

Yes indeed...Awaken dared to go up to the Christian 'Mecca' of the world, Colorado Springs, Thursday. It was actually an unreal time you guys. Our little trio here in D-town, took the hour and half road trip to meet with two different people about some of the concepts we are looking into with Awaken. It was so rad...we first met with Dustin Barrington, one of the brains behind the computer side of 4K. 4k is sort of a revolutionary way of breaking down the needs and statistics of the world. We shared with him some of our web ideas and he was so stoked and loved our vision. He felt it actually confirmed some of the things God is speaking to him and offered to help in any way he could. After that we got a little Mexican food at one of my favorite little spots,La Cacita! It was unreal! We then cruised over to the new Springs YWAM base to meet with Josh Imhoff. Josh started a ministry called, "Emerge", that essentially sets up speaking tour accross the US raising awareness for missions. It was partially birthed out of Keith Greens vision to shake the Body. Once again, I feel like we encouraged this guys more that he even did to us...which was a lot! We had such similar visions and his team also felt led to start things in CO. Needless to say, we were so stoked about our time and feel like God is really in the directors chair.

Vision/Mission Statement

Vision: Fruit............What we hope to see in the future

* Realize Reality Respond

--> Helping believers become followers by realizing the reality of God, the world's needs, thus challenging them to respond.

Mission: How............ will we accomplish that change

* Communicate stories of our active God and provide a platform for faith in action.

--> Communicating a three fold message that the God of the bible is the God of today, the world has critical needs, and as believers were called to be a part.


So... after a looooong morning this is what we came up with. There are two for each statement, the first is concise (short) and the last more explanative. We really would love feedback on this, suggestions, comments, changes, whether you like or don't like where we are going with this.

Week 2 (Jan 29, 08)

Awaken Updates (Week One) Jan 14

Hey Guys!! This is just a trial to see if we all like this for keeping up to date. We'll send out weekly e-mails of what's happening in the hub in Denver and we just need a place for all of you to check in and that all of us can see so we can be praying and in touch with everyone. We all committed at the gathering to checking in once a week, and we'd just like to know where you are and what you are up to, perhaps what God is up to as well :) It's easy!! Just hit comments and leave the info, same with leaving prayer requests or answered prayer below. Blessings, and let me know if there's anything you think could be better about this.

Prayer Requests

Just hit comments and make your requests known!

Answered Prayer

Just another thought, when God answers our prayers we should let those who are praying know, so that our faith will grow and we can give God the glory and the praise.
