This might be the greatest event in US history.  I'm serious! 

Can you imagine hundreds,  thousands, maybe even hundreds of thousands of kids on their knees crying out to God!   Native Kids there too - recognizing God for who HE is!

Many leaders are beginning to view the trip to Kansas and back as a sacred pilgrimage. Some are considering performing acts of service as they travel. Some teams will share their passion for Christ in gatherings with congregations along the way. Others also want to make time in vehicles part of worship. When students from various streams of the church travel together,   part of the pilgrimage can be discovering new unity and love for each other.

Some of the goals for PARADISE may be realized before groups ever make it to Kansas.  

 

We hope to bring several busses from various Native American communities.   If you would like to help- that would be greatly appreciated!   

 How will this gathering, differ from other worship experiences?"

1. The laser focus of PARADISE is on the supreme majesty of God's Son, on who He is and what His reign is all about right now as He rules from God's right hand. This is the most crucial distinctive about PARADISE.

 

2. PARADISE actually is more than just one gathering. It also involves months of helping students pursue a quest to discover individually and together more of who Christ is and more of what His supreme majesty is all about.

 

This journey will lead students to move through 28 morning devotionals on this very theme. As additional preparation for May 25, we are also giving ministry leaders resources to facilitate four student rallies/meetings focused on the supreme majesty of God's Son.

3. The PARADISE journey offers interactive, digital communications that allow students and leaders to personalize and help shape the journey and the gathering. When students walk onto the worship field in May, they will know that much they are about to experience was molded directly by members of their generation. 

 A generation assembling before their king!
