Good times in Tamworth

On Friday night I MC’d the Re-generation youth event with Will Graham in Tamworth. Will preached a great sermon urging people to stop going the wrong way and start following Jesus. There were about 600-700 young punks there with 130 praying to become Christian!! So exciting. I had a really good time hanging out with Will and his buddy Jamey Wooten for lunch on Friday. Great guys and really encouraging hearing their stories and being encouraged by their faith in Jesus.

It was likewise good fun hanging out with the 3 bands: Jonnday; Chasing Bailey; and Compliments of Gus. They were all very good. Highly recommended!! (Keep an eye out for some of them in Free Music Friday)

Props to Dave Buster. He’s 18 and doing a gap year with St Peter’s Tamworth. He did an incredible job organising the night. He’s a young punk doing something.

See below the jump for tweets, pics and some video blogs from the trip:

    1. hi dave.
      i’m not sure.
      i know that BGEA do great training for locals before they run events.
      to find date – you’d need to contact the churches in tamworth.
      reality have run other events in western nsw this year http://reality2012.org
      but it doesn’t look like there are contact details on there easily… maybe you could ask someone via: https://www.facebook.com/RealityOrange ?
      i’m praying that they are all continuing to follow Jesus.
      peace
      dave
