We are less than one hour away from the biggest night in Arizona AG Youth history. This really is going to change everything. Everyone is in place and the day is flying by. The band has sound checked, the dancers have practiced, the ________ have _________ed. Now all we need is the seats filled.
I can't wait for this to begin. The wait is killing me. I'm running out of things to say to you guys. My computer is almost dead and my phone is on overload. All I can say is...
GET PUMPED!
This is going to change AZ Youth history, forever!
It's Being Brought,
Shane
(PS-Look for video updates of service throughout the night!)
"This is where the magic happens". These guys are the brains of our operations. Tonight will be the best production in azyc history.
Running Like A Headless Chicken,

You know, it's actually kind of difficult to narrow my "4 Things I Can't Wait For" down to just "4 things". I am actually, completely excited for every part of Youth Convention. There is so much work being put in all across the board and I know it will show throughout this weekend. When the students file in and all the seats are filled, we will know exactly what is about to take place.
Having said all of that, if I have to narrow it down I would say that #3 on my list of "can't wait for's" is the altar.
If you have never experienced a Youth Convention altar call then I encourage you find a means of transportation and head to Phoenix First tomorrow night around 8:30. You won't be able to get in, but you will be able to feel the presence of God seeping through the door cracks.
When you gather 2000 eager and accepting students in one auditorium and they seek after God, mountains can truly move. The altar is the most dynamic part of Youth Convention. Now, I'm not saying that because we're at Youth Convention, God decides to give us a little more than anyone else, but I am saying that because we expect it He shows up in force.
(Now if we could just take that back to our churches. Oh wait, that's for later. ;-) )
The altar is going to be a place where the hard work and prayer that is going into AZYC09 pays off. Lives are going to be changed and Christ is going to do what He does, seek and save.
Be Prepared,
Shane
I cannot wait for Lunch on Saturday...
Wait, what?
Yeah, seriously, I can't wait for lunch, and it's not because of the food either.
I am pumped for the break between sessions because that means it's time to connect. Youth convention is more than just the show and service. It's about the students and youth leaders of Arizona coming together in unity to get to know God and each other. That's why lunch is so important. It will be time to meet new people, catch up with old friends, and build deeper relationships with my group. It's a chance to share ideas with other leaders, discuss service, and chug your favorite drink all in a 2 hour and 15 minutes time increment. If you can't tell already, I love connecting with people and talking with them about who they are and what they do. Lunch will provide a perfect platform for me to do that.
So, all of that being said, come and find me at lunch on Saturday. Introduce yourself and who knows, maybe I'll throw a video or ridiculous picture of you up here on the blog. I want to meet you and I want to know what makes you, you!
Happy Lunching,
Shane
