Denver Alabanza

It was a different kind of Hispanic festival than I have done before.  Called "Generación Alabanza", it means something like Generation of Praise and is aimed at challenging young adults with new ways to pray and worship.  A gym was set up with various different prayer points where people could write their intentions and pin them to a display.  Each display had a title like "Wall of Jericho."  On one wall cellphone or internet prayers were projected. 

On the stage, various videos played until the time when two other artists and myself led them in worship.  One was from Costa Rica and the other from Dominican Republic. The day ended with Teen Mass in Spanish and the other singers joined me.  The audience included some older people and some children, along with young adults and teens, and the whole thing was streamed over the internet, video and sound.  The event was sponsored by the Archdiocese of Denver Hispanic Youth Ministry.
A couple of days before, I gave the "MyPod Speak" presentation for Denver youth ministers. Chris, the Diocesan Youth Director, said he was blown away as he has never seen a multimedia presentation like this, and it was just like being in a music video! He recorded and video taped the talk to put up on their website and feels more people will get to appreciate it that way.
