onething regional conferences this year

onething regionals are the International House of Prayer’s conferences for young adults, held in cities throughout the United States as well as in other countries. We end each yearlong tour in downtown Kansas City with our annual onething national gathering. This last year over 30,000 registered for the 4-day event.

At this important time in history, God is raising up a movement of young adults and awakening their hearts to intimately encounter Him, that they might give themselves to love Jesus with all their hearts, proclaim His Word to their generation, and bring the kingdom to every sphere of society.

onething regionals exist to communicate these truths to high school and college students everywhere. It is our dream to see thousands upon thousands make the decision to embrace the glory of living a life of one thing, as expressed by King David in Psalm 27:4.

“One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to inquire in His temple (Ps. 27:4, NKJV)”

This year we’ve already had 3 regionals. We gathered just over 1,300 young adults in Orlando, FL in January as we partnered with the Orlando House of Prayer (OHOP), 1,100 in Rockford, IL and most recently 1,500 in Pasadena, CA. Each regional has it’s own unique story as we connect with what God is already doing in that region. We’re constantly encouraged to see how many different congregations and denominations are working together in prayer and outreach. And then to see all of them join efforts in hosting onething and get to serve alongside of them for a weekend is always a tremendous highlight.

Pray for us. We still have a full schedule ahead of us for 2011. We’ll be heading to Nashville, TN next, just over a week away. After that we’re off to Dallas, Detroit, Ohio, New Jersey, Houston and then Raleigh-Durham.

Be blessed.
