Well, the turnout was a little less than we had expected and some people thought it was too long (even though we clearly advertised the event going until 10pm), but it sure was a lot of fun and it was great seeing all of you again! Thanks for making it such a great event. It was a little small (we had 60 people), but it made it more friendly and praise God for bringing each of you to be touched and encouraged and having a chance to experience the love, grace, and light of Christ.

May you take what you felt at illuminate '08 and help share that with your friends that don't know Jesus. Like the girl in the video said, "please don't give up on her." Your friends are waiting for your faith to be real for them so that they too may have everlasting life and a best friend named Jesus.

Because of your enthusiasm we're gonna try to put something together again in a couple of months. Maybe you'll invite some of your non-Christian friends! Stay tuned for details :)
