GO OUT IN THE MIDDAY SUN! So we did the Gulu Walk- 2 and a half miles around a Houston park in 80 degree plus heat and extreme humidity. It was well worth it though, Tai addressed the crowd beforehand and reminded us that we'd be walking in safety, with friends, carrying water, wearing comfortable shoes, and walking in daylight. Unlike the children who join the 'night commute' every evening in the area of Gulu in Northern Uganda so that they can find a safe place to sleep away from the people who steal them from their beds to force them to fight in an army.
The show in Houston tonight was in front of an audience of 10,000 and the band were pumped up and ready to give their all after we had shared a good devotional and prayer time in the dressing room. I watched from sidestage with my friend Mike Winegeart from Abilene Christian University. He drove over to talk to me about potential partnership ministry in India. The show really rocked- with Consuming Fire restored to the set list. Louie Giglio was backstage and he filled me in briefly about his struggles to find an appropriate venue in London for a Passion event. If you check out the Third Day weblog you'll see an amazing video clip of a large roof tile falling on David's drumkit just as the line 'when the world comes crashing down on you' was sung in yesterday's show!!

I was fortunate enough to speak briefly to you during after the gulu walk and I had a question regarding missions. If one were not a minister and wanted to participate in a trip to say Uganda for example, does participation require any special qualifications? Also, would you be willing to recommend any contacts so that I might narrow down my search for information? Thank you for your time.
