Friends of the Uprising

 
Check this out. The picture above is a picture of two girls Nina and Miranda. When this picture was taken both of them lived in Kansas. Nina came to us from Kansas last year and began checking out the Uprising after she moved here. At the Uprising Nina began to experience community, truth, and growth that she wanted to share with her friends back in Kansas. Nina started a facebook group for her friends and began to share with them our online talks that we stream live on Wednesday nights during the school year. Miranda began watching and connecting with us as leaders asking questions and growing. Cat, one of our leaders, chats with Miranda weekly and through encouragement and discussion Miranda is taking her next step in baptism at the church she grew up in. 

Our online live service has been viewed not just by Nina's friends in Kansas but in cities across the states. Technology has made it possible for us to communicate, inspire, and connect with our students here in Austin as well as abroad. There is so much more to utilize and run with as we seek to go where God is at in the mission of the Uprising. Pray for us and pray about partnering with us to reach this generation.

Give Now.

I love to see them laugh, joke, and dance. I love to see them show compassion. I am moved to tears almost on a weekly basis as I watch God pursue each one of them."

They want to learn more about him and how to live a Godly life. It is really a blessing to be a part of their growth. I am honored to be a leader at the Gathering. The youth teash me as much or sometimes more then I teach them! I just love these kids and being part of their lives!"
