We sent a team of 26 for a Return to New Orleans Trip. The last time we sent a team to New Orleans was in 2006. They stayed at a YWAM house and did everything from gutting houses, restoring property and street evangelism. The stories that came out of this trip...the times of prayer, feasting, work, evangelism, restoration...this team is amazing!

In June, Epic went global by sending 75 young people to Thailand, New York City and New Orleans. Here are pictures that I personally took of my time in Thailand. We saw more than 17,000 commitments to Christ! It was an unbelievable time! -Chad

What an incredible night of worship! The Epic Worship band joined by Tooth&Nail Artist "The Glorious Unseen" was an electric combination. The bands shared the stage all night long, flawlessly weaving one song into another. It was something to behold! For more on The Glorious Unseen go to myspace.com/thegloriousunseen.

In May, we united and joined together in unity, praying for and with one another with one common theme: Your Will be done on earth as it is in heaven!

"To he who overcomes"...those were the humbling words of Jesus from the book of Revelation that were spoken in April. Barry's tragic real life story helped to bring this message home and left many to examine and question their true standing with God. There is no place for Lukewarm Christians, as we discovered through the words of Jesus. Please continue to pray for Barry as his story continues to unfold.

Focussing a year on the Red Letter Teachings of Jesus, Epic Went Red in a special way. The message of the night: Do we really see people the way Jesus sees them? How often do we judge others within just a few seconds of meeting them? Lines were drawn, literally! There was no speaker, no message delivered...we all "became" the message; walked the message.

In January, we experienced one of the most powerful nights of our lives. With an impromptu baptism, 150 took the plunge and we're baptized. So many lives were changed in this one night!

When it all began - November 4, 2007. Nearly 200 gathered for this momentous occasion. We unmasked our hypocrisy and unveiled our true colors onto a white board. Sounds strange and forgettable, but if you were there, you'd never forget. It was amazing and hopefully these pictures will help to tell our story.

"In order for me to take you to a place you've never been before, you must first begin to DO what you've never done before." -God's message to EPIC. How long will we be content reaping the rewards of the offerings sewn before us? When will we offer our OWN sacrifices to God? Imagine what He could do with that! Thus, a 40 day fast begins. 40 days - 300 people - Engaged and fully devoted to seeing God's Spirit poured out. On September 7th, our 40th day, watch and see what God will do!
