Xpress is an opportunity for kids to use their talents that God blessed them with to express their love for Him. Some kids created art projects that were on display, several sang or played instruements, and even a few girls did a gymnastics/dance routine.
The theme of the night was based on a ministry that a girl named Abby Tracey has to street boys in Kampala, Uganda. She is in her early 20s and is passionately in love with serving the Lord through ministry to these children who are the last and the least. They raised money for her last night and she shared a little bit about what life is like in Kampala. It is truely inspiring to see her live a life sold out for Christ in an unimaginable situation. Here's a link to her blog if you'd like to follow along.
Jerome, Rebecca & Micah always do an amazing job of setting the scene. Here are some pictures from the night. When you first walked in, this was what you saw. The idea here is to show that God's creation is his expression of His own creativity. Every person that showed up had their picture taken here and then later in the night they had a video of all the pictures of us, God's creation, pretty cool concept.
Then there was this series of black and white pictures of the boys that Abby ministers to (which really turned out cool, but took quite some time to get hung just right.)
This pic isn't very good, but that's a picture of Abby with one of the boys, and a make shift fire that they might cook a meal over.
This TV was playing Planet Earth, again, attributing to God's creativity through creation.
Then, when you turned the corner there was this gallery of art that some students had created for the event.
Then, when you entered the room, there was a series of signs with statistics about street children. Very powerful.
Then, in the corner there was this shack, that represented what a street boy might live in.
It really was a cool night.
