GET AMP'd


Each Wednesday night I have the honor of being apart of a ministry called AMP'd. We started AMP'd about a year and a half ago. It started off with 50 students and now we have grown to 200 students each week. For the past 8 to 9 years I've trained students and worked with leaders to form a student lead ministry with the help of Bryan Holder. 8 years ago it started with various members of the Chasen band leading each week. I noticed that it was great for me but that was not what I was there for. After attending Saddle Backs conference I realize Students want to see their friends up on stage. They want to be apart of the ministry, they want to call it there own. Last night was incredible. We are in the second week of our series "Best Sex Ever". Last night the Song list was:
TELL THE WORLD (Hillsong United)
OUR LOVE IS LOUD (David Crowder Band)
DIRTY LITTLE SECRET (All American Rejects)
YES YOU HAVE (Leeland)
Bryan Holder who is the youth pastor of Marathon Church in Greenville SC said it perfectly. Our students seemed to be shocked at what we do. It’s not ever church service you hear songs like, Dirty Little Secret, 1st Date, Amateur Lovers, Every Little Thing. God is using us in an awesome way on the road and at our home church. You can find out more about AMP'd (MSM) at www.marathonchurch.org
Last but not least I have to say AMP'd would not be where it is today with out help and cooperation of our student staff. Thank you so much for all you do week in and week out. You do make a difference.
