Onething WRAP

What a tremendous 4 days of hard work, long hours and little sleep! Happy New Year everyone. Onething 2006 was a major success. Everyone I spoke with yesterday had been deeply impacted by the teachings and music. I am not sure what our official attendance was, but the auditorium seats 10,500 and it was near capacity morning noon and night with several thousand others at various locations throughout the complex at various seminars, booths, and refreshment stands.

A year ago, I was watching the webstream of Onething from Alaska. I had no clue who these people were that were talking about a Bridegroom King and Judge. I couldn't tell you the names of the people singing or the speakers teaching. A year later and I find myself living in Kansas City. Dwayne Roberts, the big cahuna of Onething Ministries is my direct boss, and I can name if not even know many of the players putting on such a wonderful event.

I was deeply touched each evening as I walked into the auditorium during the session, looking around at the full house listening to great teaching and music. I was moved because I realized that God had placed me and my family here in KC for such a time as this. While 10,000 people got their socks blessed off, several 100 of us were volunteering long hours. Realizing that the hard work was what enabled such a great blessing to so many to occur was awesome. to make it even sweeter, the conference was being web cast on IHOP for all the sessions, and on GodTV live 3 hours each day around the world. When I thought about this, it made my complaining about sore muscles and lack of sleep become insignificant. God placed us here for this. What an honor and what a great time!

A special mention goes out to Jon Hall and the Media Dept. These guys pulled off an incredible task that came together literally in the last hours before 2pm Thursday. There was may 6-10 people that worked nearly around the clock for the entire conference. It was wonderful to be part of this team, even if all I did was move some stuff and pull a cable here and there.

If I were you, I would make plans NOW to be here next year. You wont want to miss out.
