Ah come on Billy, you know better than to expect something like that. This is only youth ministries we're talking about here. :twisted:

Yeah I emailed Kirk R a few weeks back and he had sounded hopeful about some sort of video for the event.

Even though I'm not cogop anymore I still have a very keen interest in the youth of the church and would have loved to have been able to tune in live after work. Praying for the conference just the same!

Excellent youth conference. This was by far the most youth oriented youth conference to date. I hope they keep going in this direction!!!!!

As one group said to us on the elevator, "We actually feel like we are at a youth event and not a mini General Assembly."

Praise God, that is awesome to hear. Hope they're finally turning the corner, and this is a good sign of that.

Anyone got any links to photos or video?

Yep. And who knew? The kids FROM THE SOUTH were talking about the fun in Pittsburgh. There were kids from California, Colorado, Texas represented, Georgia, TN, West Virginia, Ohio, Kentucky, and man, did North Carolina ever show up. Great job guys. As matter of fact, I believe there may have been more from North Carolina than the North East.

I want to brag about our people. The hotel had promised the renovations would be completed before the conference began. Unfortunately, they had every floor torn up when we got there. It didn't slow our people down one bit and everyone kept a great attitude about them. The great attitude and respect being shown the staff probably showed Christ's love more than a million tracts.

attendance numbers?

stevenson · Postby **stevenson** » March 17th, 2008, 11:39 am

1,500 is what i heard

Pre registration numbers were in the 800 ballpark but then you had a lot of people show up. The place was packed out with people sitting in the floor both night services.

It was over what they thought would be there. They expect low attendance every time you have it out of the south east. People are afraid to travel outside of Mecca and discover a new area. For those that went, they were pleasantly surprised with beautiful scenery, some pretty cool things nearby, and a great conference.
