Night for Africa


A few weeks ago we had the honor of attending the 2nd annual night for Africa sponsored by 410 Bridge. Last year it was held at Northpoint Community Church and was really cool. This year they moved it to the Gwinett Center to coincide with the conclusion of Catalyst 08. I think that worked because so many of the Catalyst conferees stayed for it. Obviously the setting was not as intimate, and many of the participants were tired, but it still was an amazing evening.

In addition to great music by Fee, we heard the children from Africa sing, and Jeff Foxworthy hosted the event. He is very funny, but also a very committed Christian who openly shared his faith. The event was a fund raiser, and I hope they raised a lot of money because they are doing some amazing things for Jesus in Kenya. Oh yeah, and at the end all we groupies went down for autographs and pictures!
