This January, I was so incredibly blessed to attend the Passion268 conference, which calls students from across the country and around the world to worship the name of Jesus in the Mercedes-Benz Stadium. There were so many amazing moments where I experienced God’s goodness and glory that I cannot wait to share with you all!
Whenever I was asked about the experience, the only thing I could say was, “It was amazing!” The Holy Spirit was so present from the beginning of the event and only felt more tangible as the conference continued.
The morning of the last day, we began with worship. The congregation finished the time of worship with the song “Agnus Dei.” The reverence of the moment was unreal. As the throng of voices began to overtake the artists on stage, the worship team fell to their knees and wept. The refrain “Holy, Holy, Holy, are you Lord God Almighty, Worthy is Lamb” reverberated not just through the stadium but also through the hearts of those present. There is absolutely nothing like the sound of 55,000 people worshipping the name of Jesus, and I don’t think I will ever be the same.
Surrounded by the chorus of voices, I found myself thinking, “This is what Heaven sounds like,” and I began to cry.
Along with being in awe of the worship, God reminded me of His character through song.“The Lord Will Provide” by Passion affirms the truth of the Word that God is a provider. His provision frees me from worry about what tomorrow will look like because, as Philippians 4:19 says, “My God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.” I believe my World Race trip will be fully funded and my physical needs will be met because my Heavenly Father always provides for His children.
Passion reminded me of God’s promise to provide and reassured me that there is a generation of believers who desire to know God. I ask that you will continue to pray that I see the fruit of God’s promises and so will the members of my squad.
Grace & Peace,
