Thank you Boston for an amazing weekend. Landing in the heart of NE reminded us all of why we do Passion in the first place. Being on your turf (right smack in the middle of BU on Commonwealth Ave.) lifting up the name of Jesus over the campuses, the city and all of NE had a totally different energy than having students from across the world gather in one central location. That's not to say the sense we had walking into Phillips for Passion 07 wasn't phenomenal. Seeing 23,000 people in one place is inspiring, jaw-dropping and humbling. Yet being in the middle of New England, and standing with you as few in the midst of many, made for one of the most special steps of Passion's journey to date.
For a long, long time all that's been said of Boston and New England is that there aren't many followers of Jesus there. And while that may be true, I think the tide turned for me this weekend to say to all of you (and to the world), there may not be many followers of Jesus on the campuses of NE, but there are enough for God to change the current and cause the church to flourish.
In a few days we will be in Chicago, but we are carrying all of you guys from Passion Boston in our hearts. Your intensity and appreciation for the significance of the moment were so refreshing. We will not stop praying for you as you continue to integrate the powerful and freeing hope of Jesus into every fiber of your daily lives. And speaking of Chicago, the last thing the Boston folks did was pray for you, asking God to blast into the weekend to come like He did in theirs. And they gave! 18K+ to build over 6 wells for African villages and over 15K to bring an experience like this to students around the world, setting the bar for next weekend pretty high!
We love you Boston and can't say thank you enough for allowing us to share this incredible weekend with you! (And go Sox!)
