Next up, Gary Haughen, a Christian Attorney who has dedicated his life to freeing modern-day slaves around the world addressed the Passion Gathering. He was a breathing illustration of "passion", no doubt. His message was weighty and broke our hearts. He said in the tragic situations he walks in and out of many people ask, "Where is God?" His reply is, "No. Wrong question! I don't ask "Where is God?" I ask, "Where are God's people?"
In the night session, we were introduced to a modern-day slave from the Philippines. The teenage girl was recently freed from her brokenness by our Great God, in partnership with Gary Haugen's ministry. She said she feels like a bird that has been freed from a cage. "God's people showed up in my life to complete me," she said. Her story was once a sad story, but now has a happy ending.
Words will not convey the emotions within my heart during this session. Tears would come closer to explaining my heart than words ever could.
Francis Chan, a crowd favorite, spoke in the night session as well. He began with deep crying and then talked to us about how very trustworthy God is. His transparent delivery certainly moved the souls of all present.
The music today was absolutely encouraging, Scriptural-based, and worship-filled. Some of the worship leaders were Matt Redman, Charlie Hall, Chris Tomlin, Christy Nockels, and Kim Walker with The Jesus Culture Band. Let's just say, "The music was off-the-charts, surely God-glorifying and soul-lifting!"
