Blessed, stretched, unified, reverent, these are a few of the terms I would use to describe our Alive experience.  The reverent hearts of the people at the Alive festival have been encouraging on an incredible level.  They have challenged us to show the love of the Lord through showing our love for His people.  As for the team as a whole our unity has grown abundantly and our love and respect for each other have become increasingly great.  I can say that the presence of the Lord is truly here.

We have put our faith to the test and this week the Lord has stretched us and strengthened us and has renewed and reinforced our foundation as believers.  We have prayed for numerous people and just to hear what is on their hearts has been an amazing blessing.  Prayer has shown its true strength this week, for our brothers and sisters in Christ and for our Live Offensively family. This week has been a definite reminder of how praiseworthy and evidently loving the Lord truly is.
