I am so excited for the upcoming Fall BASICcon! On November 8-10, hundreds of young adults from around the northeast will come together at the Rochester Plaza Hotel in Rochester, NY. This BASICcon features worship with Grammy nominated band Leeland and headline speaker Matthew Barnett, pastor and cofounder of the Dream Center in Los Angeles. The theme for the weekend will be “Go Forth.” Here are 7 reasons why you should invite everyone (and their brother) to BASICcon.
- We expect God to show up in a powerful way at every conference. Each time lives are touched, people are impacted, and we see lasting life change in those who attend.
- The fun is uncontainable. I promise that everyone who comes will walk away with at least one great memory. Who could forget the massive Harlem shake or Gangnam Style parody?
- You will be able to hear from top-notch speakers from all over the nation. This year’s headline speaker is Matthew Barnett, co-founder of the Los Angeles Dream Center which serves the needs, heal the hurts, and solves the problems of inner-city people. They now serve over 50,000 individuals and families each month.
- Getting to meet new people and getting to know those in your group better.
- Getting to worship with the well-known band Leeland. While Leeland has won awards and their songs are played frequently on Christian radio, what’s more important is that they have passionate hearts for leading others in worship.
- There’s something powerful about worshipping with over 700 college students and young adults from many different nationalities and backgrounds. I like to think it’s similar to what heaven will look like.
- And the best reason to invite everyone you know…seeing God take broken lives and make them beautiful. Every person you invite is one more person who could surrender their life to God and forever be changed.
