I had the pleasure of spending a week in Chicago for Group's KIDMIN12 conference. A few of us from The Mission were able to get inspired and stoked up to serve in children's ministry. Here are some photos from the trip:
 
•Visited the Art Institute of Chicago. Butch admiring the original American Gothic piece & a rather large Monet.
Gungor performing at KIDMIN12. They put on an amazing show and are extremely talented musicians.
•Spent hours walking around downtown Chicago. Butch at Cloud Gate ("The Bean") in Millennium Park.
•Buckingham Fountain and authentic Chicago grinds from Al's.
•Toured Soldier Field, home of the Bears. View from the Skyline Suite.
•Got to catch a John Mark McMillan and Jude Moses show at Soul City Church

Cheers, from the Windy City!

One of my favorite snaps from visiting NYC last year. This alley was in walking distance from Ground Zero. Wandering the streets of this extremely resilient city is something everyone should experience. Our prayers go out to the families and service members who lost loved ones on 9/11, and to those that serve our country by defending our freedom.
