Written by Seth Hoffman   

At Mobilise USA last weekend, there was a rising sense of a generation coming of age.  Mobilise USA is a conference for 18-29 year-olds held in St. Louis every winter.  It is a time to meet other young people in the Newfrontiers family of churches, to hear relevant teaching and to enjoy powerful, Spirit-filled worship. More than any of that, it is a time to encounter God and hear from Him.

This year a crew of 8 Harbor Church members went to the conference along with 400 young people from around the country.  The worship was led by Simon Brading, who often leads worship at Newfrontiers events around the world.  Speakers included church planters and leaders Bo Noonan, Darrin Patrick (Acts29), Brian Mowrey and John Lanferman.  Although there was no specific "theme" for the weekend, each of the speakers challenged us to get rid of the idols in our lives (good things that we make ultimate things) so that we can fully love God and love our neighbors. It was a challenging time of teaching, with many prophetic words that encouraged us to lay aside anything that is hindering us in our lives and go for all God has for us.

Finally, in one of the highlights of the weekend, this group of 20-somethings gave over $17,000 dollars to relief efforts in Haiti and Kenya! Amazing to see God at work in this grace of giving!  Already looking forward to the event next year.
