Beloved of God,
It appears that the "Occupy Wall Street" movement has gained momentum and evolved into numerous "occupy" protest throughout the world. Whatever our opinion is regarding the OWS movement, whether we welcome it as a catalyst for change within our nation, or whether we feel it reflects misplaced frustration, I firmly believe that our nation, even our world would experience an unprecedented revival if the saints of God focused on "occupying Jesus" as intently. The participants exude a firm belief and commitment to their movement. They are willing to sacrifice, to focus, to commit their time to undergird and promote their movement. They are not fearful of "what people will think" nor embarrassed to share their beliefs. The level of commitment exhibited by these demonstrators is admirable and my prayer is that we, the people of God, would demonstrate the same level of commitment to Christ in spreading the Gospel. Compromise of our beliefs is not an option. While we respect the beliefs of others, we must boldly stand on the truth of the Gospel. Here are a few suggestions for "occupying" or strengthening your relationship with Christ: |

[THIS FALL] The Misfit Tour 2011
In partnership with Pastor Chris Durso, author of the Zondervan bestseller MISFIT: Dealing With Our God-given Discomfort, Xist Music (Xist) and The UpLift! Group (UpLift!) present MISFIT Tour 2011 this Fall, from September through November. The nationwide tour is a fierce, creative explosion of seven of today’s leading voices in Christian music and spoken word and will feature Hip Hop artists including three-time Stellar winner Da’ T.R.UT.H. and Christian Hip Hop pioneer and GRAMMY® nominee The Ambassador, R&B/Soul phenomenon Mali Music, R&B/Hip Hop artists Sean Simmonds and Rhema Soul, powerful spoken-word artist Oraia and the visionary behind MISFIT Tour 2011, Pastor Chris Durso. Tour activities will not only consist of the word and song presentations at each venue, but also volunteer activities or service projects carried out by the tour participants with community members in each city, to demonstrate, together, the positive attributes of being a MISFIT.
MISFIT is a movement that Durso conceived, to revolutionize America’s communities of all cultures, ethnicities and socio-economic and academic statuses, by challenging and equipping youth and young adults across the nation to courageously pursue Godliness in the face of all that seems and often is uncomfortable, unfamiliar, unattractive and unpopular. MISFIT Tour 2011 will bring excitement, inspiration and a strong transformative and rallying message to America’s youth and young adults through media tours, inner-city civic engagement and outreach and dynamic musical performances that will engage any audience.
