We have started an official 40-Day Countdown for the 2013 LUC Youth Evangelism Congress.  

We're on Day 5 of 40 today.

Both Moses and Jesus endured 40 days & nights of trial in the mountain and wilderness.  And as as result, both of them emerged with power, glory and character that would carry them to finish the mission God had planned for them to accomplish. 

As we spend the 40 days & nights together in God’s Word and Prayer - we pray that God will empower us with His power, glory and character that will enable us to finish the work He has planned for us to finish in our generation.

You can follow us in our Countdown by:

5.  For young delegates and leaders in Chicago, can they commute?

• This Congress has been strategically designed for the young delegates to  connect, network and build community together in a retreat settting.  The goal is for young delegates and church leadership to bond and establish deep and intimate relationships by coming and staying together at the hotel.  So, we're encouraging everyone to 'come away for awhile' and take time to build a community together.
