There were over 400 (a record number!) students and twenties who had the opportunity to engage with God through passionate times of worship, teaching and prayer. Together we represent twenty-two cities in the United States. Amazing indeed, but we want more! Not because of numbers or popularity, but because we know from experience that the Spirit of God has a way of showin' up and causing Christ's great commission to resound like never before!
Why would we resist a God who welcomes the lonely, strengthens the weak, heals the broken, frees the enslaved and to top it all off, finds great delight in doing so! After encountering His Spirit in such a way, to resist Him working in and through us would be depressing! How can we refuse sharing Christ with others and deny them the life that’s been given to us?
We asked a few Mobilise attendees some questions in relation to the conference, and here’s what they had to say:
What excites you the most about this generation?
The resources we have. It’s up to us what we do with them, but I think there’s a real willingness in our generation to be under authority to leadership. Also, our ability to relate with people and connect with people.
What might change in your life as a result of this weekend?
Living more purposefully, especially in relationships, and living out the gospel by applying it to my everyday life.
After reflecting on Mobilise 2010, it is clear God is calling our generation into a position of commitment—a commitment to make loving God our primo choice and to deny ourselves in doing so. This type of whole-hearted commitment will create movement, collect momentum and cultivate mission for the expansion of God’s Kingdom.
Our generation has yet to fully experience the weight that only comes through commitment. It's a weight of unity, strength, stability, purpose, meaning, joy, influence and breakthrough found only in Christ—it's the weight of His glory!
