We left Saturday and arrived in Atlanta at 3:30 PM and our hotel room was not ready d
ue to New Years Eve the previous night. We got two of the four rooms and went to dinner and then to the Main Session. There were two arenas, the Phillips Arena and the Georgia World Congress Center. We were in the Georgia World Congress Center first and the session opened up with Matt Redman in our arena and Chris Tomlin in the Phillips Arena. Louie Giglio then started off Passion 2011 and a spiritual ride that was AMAZING!

lin, Charlie Hall, David Crowder, Matt Redman, Giglio, Beth Moore, Frances Chan, Andy Stanley, and John Piper. One thing God taught me was that it doesn't matter who preached or sang, it is all about Jesus. We are to make the NAME of Jesus famous and not the name of people. This was the last thing we discussed at Passion and it has stuck with me since then. Every Passion I have gone to I have looked forward to seeing Crowder but that is not what it is about. I will never forget this.

0 different charitable organizations. Each organization had a goal and the total amount goal was $500,000. After 4 days $1.4 million dollars was donated by 22,000+ college students and volunteers.

bible studies called Breakouts and the one of the many that I attended was David Platt, speaking about his book "Radical." Platt talked about how churches are consumer-based and it is not about making money it was about spreading the Gospel through service and ministry. This idea of serving God through service, I believe, touched our group from Ridge the most. I can see that our group is on fire to change the church so that the Gospel is spread.

I believe that everybody in our church group came back changed in some way and I pray that we continue to have that flame in our hearts for a long time! Next year Passion is moving to the Georgia Dome for Passion 2012! I ask that you pray for Passion 2011 Ft. Worth, which will take place on April 1-3. God is moving in our generation!
