Soul Survivor 06
Hey there!
I know I said I'd do this a while ago, but have been busy, but finally I had some time to write about SS. It was a really cool week, and was as good as my expectations were if not better. There were over 10,500 people there, so a lot, and we all had two meetings a day in this massive outside tent called the big top, it's the biggest in Europe. Here Tim Hughes and other really big worship leaders would lead the music for about 45 minutes before a talk from Mike (SS leader) or someone else including guest speakers like Brother Andrew!! He was amazing, and his talks were so inspiring for everyone, and he was defintely my highlight of the week.
We camped again, which is a bit crazy over LA, and the weather was okay except for some massive thunderstorms at night..... Also Simeon from camp was really close to where we camped so we spent sometime with him and his youth group which was cool. In the evenings there was so much to do. You could go to a gig, which on some nights were awesome. My favourite band was OnehundredHours who were amazing!!!! Other options included sports, cafes with live bands, Mr Boogies (you should ask Jonathon about that ;-) ) and generally just things to enjoy doing. It was mainly youth there, so everyone was around our age so that was really cool, although we didn't go as a youth group when most people did so it was hard to meet new people. I really can't wait to go again next year. Anyway if you want to ask any questions about it please do, I'd love to talk about it. And if you didn't go this year you should really consider it for next year. Hopefully the pictures below will give you some more ideas about what it is like!!
Be blessed
Luke
