After almost 27 hours on the train from Union Station to New Orleans, we have finally arrived for the National Youth Gathering!

It’s now the first morning of the gathering and I’m looking forward to what this day and the next four bring.  I’m sure they promise new experiences, hard work, worship and encounters with God, as well as new friends and the opportunity to see old ones.

So here’s to the start of a great experience!  Amanda and I hope you follow us on our journey through these next couple of days.  We’ll write a few things and put them up here (click on the “blog” link above for more soon) and put pictures up for you to see.

Speaking of pictures, here are a few from the train ride down here:
