Was it opportunity to stand on this mountainside with thousands of others, worshiping and thanking God for the mercy and grace you've experienced? Was it a chance to celebrate your love for music, for your Maker, for the beautiful setting here at the Gunstock Mountain Resort, or to have fun with family, friends and other believers? Are you hungry to experience more of God's unrelenting love for you?
Whatever your reason, we're thrilled that you are here and confident that you are on the verge of a life-changing and soul-transforming breakthrough.You are at exactly the right place. Not because there’s some cosmic single experience designed for us all to share simultaneously – but because we are each on a sacred adventure, and our journeys have led us to this place, at this moment. We encourage you to individually and uniquely respond to what's being communicated, what's being revealed right now, here at SoulFest. What you take home from this festival will have everything to do with God’s singular love for you and God’s good intentions for your most personal hopes, sorrows, life.
This Love, TRUE LOVE, shifts our attention from ourselves to others, taking our minds off of the limitations of our schedules, our bodies, our bank accounts, and moves us along a path that is uniquely our own. Your path and mine are full of experiences that reflect kindness, generosity, meekness, gentleness, courage and wisdom, small and big reminders that God's love will prevail. This path also brings us face-to-face with injustices, poverty, hunger, cruelty, slavery, homelessness, brokenness, anything that traps another soul. True Love demands our response. I mean, no one can tell you how you should respond, but you and I both know when we must act, whether in the face of some great kindness or great hurting. This God loves unrelentingly, unconditionally, everyone, everywhere, and this same Love is aimed right at you. True Love was revealed by Jesus and is being revealed by the Holy Spirit right now as you read this. This Love is the single most powerful energy that has ever existed. It is the one hope for transforming our own life, our family, our neighborhood, our planet.
P.S. Here are just a few of the many powerful experiences we want to bring to your attention:
BENEVOLENCE OFFERING: It's been a tough year for us all. But Jesus says clearly that our souls were built for giving - our giving will return to us many times over. Please give each night towards the charities that are featured. Each are engaged in exciting True Love Actions and we’re inviting you to join in... This is True Love Action.
WALK4WATER: Show solidarity for those millions of God’s children who walk miles for water, often risking their lives, on Saturday’s first annual Walk4Water. Proceeds will go to building a deep water well in the SoulFest sister village, Lukodi, in Uganda, and at the feet of Jesus you can count on meeting someone to whom you gave a cup of clean water. Don’t wait – this is your opportunity... This is True Love Action.
