I just got back from a mission trip to Guatemala during which a bunch of teens built a playground for kids at a Christian school in the poverty stricken side of Guatemala City. The experience was one of the things I've been needing to deepen my faith. As we sat watching the end of The Passion with the students, Jesus being beaten and beaten, I realized that this crime against him was the reason we were all in that room. The kids, the students, the faculty, the engineers from Kids Around the World. Jesus was the thing we all had in common and the reason we had for being together and the reason that school is there etc. It was a powerful moment. I'm now eagerly awaiting the conference. God is building me up for some wild stuff. I can feel it. Can't wait to have this experience and meet others who will be having it with me. I'm making a movie video of the trip for the folks I went with. I'll bring some copies with me to California. -Annie Hey everybody!

We saw Erwin at Promise Keepers back in 2003 I think it was here in Toronto where the message about Johnathon's armour bearer really hit me. Since then I've read Uprising and Barbarian Way. It'd be great to find some more Barbarians in Toronto and we're hoping the Apr. 7th , 8th www.downpour.org event here in Toronto with James MacDonald and Beth Moore will bring His wonderful presence in a great way.

Really looking forward to it! I heard you at the Willowcreek conference last year in Cheltenham and what God said through you has changed my life and the lives of others who were there. Have read most of your books and get the poscast every week. Class stuff! Doing our best to break down the man-made rules and traditions here in Ireland and start to be Christ-Followers, not people-pleasers! Lokoing forward to seeing y'all in May! T.

I am stoked to hear that so many people from around the the US are...well...stoked about Origins. See you all there. I will make it a point to write down names and try to make contact. Annie, some books that were VERY beneficial to me were "A New Kind of Christian" by Brian Mclaren and "Myth of Certainty: the reflective christian and the risk of comittment" by Daniel Taylor In A New Kind of Christian, Brian Mclaren takes you on a spiritual journey that engages your heart as well as your mind. He uses personal stories along with historical fact to help us understand how we have gotten to where were at. This story captures a new spirit of Christianity--where personal, daily interaction with God is more important than institutional church structures, where faith is more about a way of life than a system of belief, where being authentically good is more important than being doctrinally "right," and where one's direction is more important than one's present location (back cover). In The Myth of Certainty, Daniel Taylor, sympathizes with Christians who struggle with doubt. Without visible proof of God’s existence, certainty is impossible to find. Without certainty, putting faith in God is a risk. Despite this, Taylor argues convincingly against inaction. The risk of commitment must be made. There you go...hope it helps "the world is being changed by those who are being changed" -by someone important...truth is...I forgot :) Dare to be changed...let the birthing pains continue Throw off the shackles of “civilization” and gird yourselves with a loin cloth, Jesus is moving those who have nothing to hide to a passionate adventure.

It's a thoughtful read about community. I eventually hope to make it to Origins, but probably not this year, as I have a one-year anniversary trip planned for my wife and I around that time. It's been amazing over the past few years how God has used Erwin McManus and Mosaic to challenge both myself and the people around me, even though we're halfway accross the country in WI.

I'm a 55 year old layperson, and have dedicated most of my life to serving God and His people. Yet, somehow, I sense that there are many doors yet to be opened. I've never been afraid to risk it all, but I also haven't recently felt God's call to risk or give my all in a way that's different from what I've been doing. If there's a better way that I can do more good, then that's what I want to do. In my youth I was a wildman, even a wildman Christian, yet I'm not sure that's what it means to be a Barbarian. Somehow Erwin McManus and Mosaic give me hope that it's possible to live out one's faith without fear or compromise. I come to the Origins Project seeking to discover new directions, new challenge and purpose. I am very excited to be able to attend the 2006 OriginsProject.
