We've been so moved by what God has done in our midst. Those 4 days were marked by so many unforgettable moments of His Kingdom moving, shifting, re-organizing, re-vamping, and calling His Church forward. To endure. To pour out. To lift up. To do what the Father is doing.There's a handful of photos here... but you can see a whole truckload at http://www.carlosweaver.com/yana/...our good

Explanation of Corpus Christi NovenaThe day before his death on the Cross, Christ instituted the Eucharist in the Upper Room. He also offered bread and wine, which "in his sacred hands" became his Body and his Blood, offered in sacrifice. The feast of Corpus Christi falls on Sunday of our conference. We would like to invite you to pray this novena with us for the next nine days. The

So here in the land of Youth Arise we're getting ready for all the grandness that will take place in May. We're putting together boxes of goodies (by 'goodies' I mean mass quantities of rave cards, posters, and other fun stuff, Cup of Noodles too apparently) for folks to spread the word about the conference. We'd love all 16+ million of you college students to come to Arise 08, and though that

On Wednesday, October 17th Chris Faddis, Angela Faddis, Gianna Faddis, Michelle Johncola, Jason Meyer, Danny Oertle, Andrea Prisby, and myself left the valley of the sun for Jackson Hole, Wyoming. The trip took 18 hours both ways, in an RV, but I have to say it was one of the most scenic 18 hour trips I have ever taken.

A book was recently published: I Choose God. It is a collection of life-stories from young people; testimonies of what God has done to rescue and redeem the lives of sinners. One of the stories is from our own Erin Hanson (class of 04). Two others are from good friends Melanie Welsch and Brooke Burns. The stories are honest- they tell of the hurt and damage of sin, but they are grace-filled,

Its been a busy summer. After ARISE 07, we took a short breather. Just a short one though. We've been preparing for our time in Minnesota with our good friends at St. Paul's Outreach. SPO hosted The School of the New Evangelization, a 2-week extravaganza of training, discipleship, formation, and good clean fun. A dozen of us from Tempe joined the 100+ college-students for what would be an

A week has passed and our team has had some moments to rest… and we’re not quite sure what to say either. How can words describe? Should we even try? Was that real? The anthems? China? The Word? Yes… the Word. Its not like there were millions of us there and the collective roar of our songs shook the walls. But His Word was there. And He spoke His Word. We listened. The walls did

Explanation of origin of Novena to the Holy Spirit.The Scriptures state that between our Lord's Ascension and the Coming of the Holy Spirit the disciples spent those days in prayer. These nine days are the origin of the idea of a nine-day prayer intention, from the Latin - a Novena. The Novena to God the Holy Spirit would therefore be the first one! The following was compiled by the Holy Ghost

My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Why are you so far from saving me, so far from the words of my groaning? O my God, I cry out by day, but you do not answer, by night, and am not silent. Yet you are enthroned as the Holy One; you are the praise of Israel. In you our fathers put their trust; they trusted and you delivered them. They cried to you and were

After returning back to Arizona from a wonderful GREEN Christmas in Michigan, the last thing I was expecting was white fluffy stuff on the ground!

250 loud, nervous freshman crowded the gym that day, a couple weeks back. They had no idea what was about to happen as ten scary, intimidating young adult leaders representing Youth Arise welcomed them. Thus begins our fourth year serving the students at St. Mary's Catholic High School in downtown Phoenix. We will be again running a day retreat for each grade this year. There is one change in the

"To adore God is to acknowledge, in respect and absolute submission, the 'nothingness of the creature' who would not exist but for God. To adore God is to praise and exalt him and to humble oneself, as Mary did in the Magnificat, confessing with gratitude that he has done great things and holy is his name. The worship of the one God sets man free from turning in on himself, from the slavery of

2097 kicks off one week from tonight, next Wednesday September 13th. What is 2097? Good question. It is the name of an event that combines praise and worship, teaching/preaching, and adoration.
