Pre-ONETHING Happenings

Today all of IHOP is a buzz with activity as we move the Prayer Room and the bookstore to Bartel Hall in Downtown KC for the onething conference. In addition, they are setting up the main stage area of the convention center to accommodate upwards of 20,000-30,000 young adults for prayer and worship that will continue begin Friday evening and continue until midnight on New Years Eve.

My little part of this was to help transport everything needed to minister to 400 children who are registered for the Children Equipping Center tracks during this conference. We moved sound system, projection equipment, registration paperwork, boxes of printed materials, and my particular favorite 2,000 snack items to cover us for the 5 sessions that we will be holding.

We managed to find our little room in the midst of the maze of buildings and one way streets, and began the arduous task of unloading and transporting to the right room.

It was my two brilliant children (Taylor and Isabelle) who saved the day when the declared that it would be much easier to set the boxes on the escalator and let them ride up unattended, while one person waited at the top for them instead of each of us standing on the escalator with our load of boxes. Quite brilliant! Quite brilliant!

Not sure how much blogging will take place in the next few days, we'll see how it goes.

In the mean time pray for us!
