CWB Reunion in Atlanta | Trek-X Final Prep

We just returned from a round of summer camps which were simply amazing! The students we’ve led in worship this summer have had a different intensity in them that I’ve not seen in years past. They are really eager to connect with God in worship, but they also want to do something with the fire that is fueled through worship. A great sign of God’s activity in our culture.

During this last camp in PCB, FL I was also able to lead several breakout sessions on missions. As I shared our vision & strategy for reaching the poor & marginalized with each round of students, I could literally see their eyes light up with desire to engage the world with the Gospel. That was huge. Too often we are satisfied with gathering to sing songs that fail to produce any fruit in our lives. However, it seems as though this new generation of students is determined to move beyond the music and into ACTION! Sort of reminds me of a Bible verse in James that says “faith without deeds is dead”. (James 2:20) I love it. God is truly stirring in this generation for tremendous impact, and I want to be right in the middle of it.

We will finish our last camp at FBC Atlanta on July 28-Aug 1, which will be an original CWB reunion event. Since Wes & Tamara Banks are home from Romania, and since Glenn Smith, Chris Wang, and Taylor Martin all live in Atlanta, we thought it would be a great idea to gather again as the original CWB & do this event. This will be fun. Having Wang on the drums, Glenndolyn on bass, Wes on the percs, and Taylor on lead will be a truly wonderful worship reunion. So many of the intimate moments we’ve shared on the stage together have helped to shape who we are today. We look forward to adding this one to our journey as well.

Between now and then, we are working long days to get ready for our Trek-X orientation weekend. Please pray for us as we make the final preparations. As students and parents prepare to arrive in Nashville on August 14th for our inaugural year of Trek-X, we are busy collecting furniture for their condos, designing our line of Trek-X gear, putting the final touches on the Disicpleship Plan, and securing our adjunct faculty of experts who will help us pour the right spiritual DNA into each student. We will post our list of faculty members in the next blog. (They include people like Dr. Jay Strack, Mel Blackaby, Brent Crowe, Wade Morris, Adam Robinson, Dr. Alvin Reid, etc.)
