Time for Part 2 of this pictoral recap from our last road trip!  We ended the 2008 Catalyst Road Trip with highlights that were amazing on SOOO many levels - from seeing previously disconnected church leaders in Nashville connect on a heart and mission level in Nashville, TN (and this brief comment doesn't even come close to doing justice to what is in the works right now between Emaus Church and Crosspoint Church in Nashville) to having an opportuntiy to take our first ever helicpoter ride with Alan Bracken, a man using his paving compnay to change the face of his communiyt.  Paving?!  Yes, absolutely.  it was an amazing trip...check out some of our pictures. 

First up, our visit to Oklahoma City where we met with the President of Mid-America Christian University, our official 2008 Catalyst Road Trip Sponsor:

This takes us through our visit in Carrollton, TX - tomorrow I will post pictures from our stops in OK, TN, & NC...stay tuned for pictures of a VW Vanagon reunion (of sorts).  It was awesome!

Dino Rizzo, lead pastor at Healing Place Church in Baton Rouge, LA, sent this video to say thank to all of you that have rallied to provide help & support towards the hurricane relief efforts after Gustav & Ike tore through the gulf coast.  Here is a short update on what's going on with the guys down in Baton Rouge...

Once again, thank you.
