iMpossible...or not?

Dustin had a brief appearance in the main session, called iMpossible because that is this year's theme based on Hebrews 11:6. He rode up and down the bleacher stairs as part of an illustration of what one might consider impossible to do. After that he rode an inverted table down the stairs with a couple other guys. He is in the crowd picture in the middle where the spotlight is...just trust me, he really is there!

Each session is spoken in English and translated from stage into German and into 11 more languages transmitted to wireless headsets. You can see the interpreters hard at work back stage in their cubicles.

Dustin was also featured in the Monday newsletter, also translated into many languages (click on the picture below to read the article). It doesn't take much to be a teenagers hero. Just be a world champion unicyclist, for example, and get a little publicity. He is getting more popular around here by the day and he's using it to encourage kids and challenge them in their walk with Jesus.

TeenStreet Begins

Today was the first official day of TeenStreet Germany 2009. The convention center grounds are full of excited and energetic teenagers and it is beautiful!

We did our first workshop today with a limited number of unicycles thus a limited number of students. A few kids brought their own unis and had some fun honing their skills while the others persevered through the beginning wobbles of their first rides. Dustin shared his testimony with them and gave them a taste of what unicycling looks like after 27 years of riding to inspire them.

At the worship service tonight it was neat to see the students expressing their love for God in creative ways.

Thanks for your prayers for our ministry here at TeenStreet. We need them as we ask God to use us how He sees fit!
