Ray [one of my youth workers] had helped with the security at Passion in DC and had shared [basically] the whole talk with me and yet the revelation that came from hearing it personally has revolutionized how I view pain/suffering/tragedy. I shared a synopsis of your talk with my mom and sisters and was struck again with this overwhelming sense of God's amazing hope made possible through the cross. Awesome. Bonjour Louie~*

I was one of six guys that took a trip to see you and CT, and it was really worth it! We grew closer together by growing closer in Christ - literally! This past Sunday morning, one of my friends that went accepted Christ as his Savior and Dad while listening to Adrian Despres (USC Gamecocks Chaplain), and I accepted Christ as well that Sunday night (a youth group gave a profound presentation). So why am I saying all this? I say this because you and CT had such an impact on our lives at that concert and at Student Life Camp in Myrtle Beach, SC. Thank you for all that you do - God is certainly blessing you. :) LG,

I recently attended the NYWC in your wonderful Atlanta. As I sat listening to your talk on our Hope - the Cross. I was tracking with you ever so much. I thank God that He put that message in your life and in your heart and in your mouth to proclaim not only at the NYWC but I am sure that you are sharing it all over. <br/><br/>Two years ago my wife and I left PCB, FL for Boston. We had only been there a year when tragedy hit my family in East Tennessee. After believing that God had wanted us to move there and help my mom we left the God-dream in Boston. We were in East Tennessee for only three months and with no jobs and things with my mom not working out we turned to our friends. We ended up being invited to Texas. We were working odd jobs trying to make ends meet - all the while trusting that our Lord had a plan. We ended up being asked to come on staff here in Madison, Al - near Huntsville. <br/><br/>The reason I am writing is that I wanted to encourage you. There has been some dark times for us over the past two years. There has been "trouble". AND at the same time there has been peace. Honestly, it has been hard to look at the trouble and know peace. To trust that Jesus has got it covered. That is why your message at the NYWC was so spot on for me. Passion was the catalyst for me to really mean it when I said, "Lord, I will go anywhere, do anything." One Day is still in my heart and soul and brain. It is as if God marked me in those days as we worshiped together. God used Passion 05 to push me out of comfort and force me to go to the hard place among the hard peoples. And then I discovered that all of that was calling me to call this generation to go, to be, to hope, to love to wait eagerly on the Lord and to spread a passion for the supremacy of Christ in all things. But Louie, you got to know that God used you to fan that flame in my life.<br/><br/>While at the NYWC, I went to purchase one of the DVD's. I ended up talking to the ladies working at your booth. I shared with them my story and as I finished and wanted to pay, one of them handed me all three of your DVD messages. Monday night when I arrived home we watched "How Great is Our God". My brother in-law who is not passionately following Jesus was glued to your talk. He told me today that it moved him and that he thought about it all day yesterday. <br/><br/>So - thanks. And thank your "booth ladies" they really made my weekend. Also, do you know when the David Crowder Band will be putting out a new CD? j/k<br/><br/>For His Renown,<br/>The Big Red Goteed guy,<br/>Brian Louie,

I thought your message on the scope of the universe was spot on.<br/><br/>However, I just have to say that I felt your use of the phrase, "The guilt trip is over" really took away from the worship experience in singing Amazing Grace. Our sin that separates us from God is as wide as the universe is big. Without Christ's atoning death, we'd be hopelessly lost and doomed to separation from him for all eternity. His death did amazingly so much more than simply remove a bad guilt trip. Hey Louie, It was great to see you and Chris lastnight. I thought your message on the scope of the universe was spot on.

One of my best friends is learning sign language in college right now. She's an amazing young woman, who I have been close with since we met in 2002 for the first time. Allisons family became my family and everytime I'm in New England I know that I always have a place to stay and a family that loves me. I feel blessed. It's always hard to leave and cross the ocean again but I always know that I will see them again...<br/>Allison's life has been hard, she was born at 26 weeks, her vocal folds weren't developed and so she has a hard time speaking. She can't scream...and when she speaks it almost sounds like whispering. But seeing her and seeing how she has grown from a little girl into a woman makes me see how amazing she is and I admire her so much. She is a strong woman and wants to help others! She always pays attention to the weak, no matter what! I admire that in her and see her as an example. Because I know that I can learn so much from her. But most of all I love her and I'm glad that she is my friend. <br/><br/>I continue to pray for you, CT band and all the staff! I wish you a safe ride to Atlanta! Thanks Louie for this post.
