About me:
WELCOME To GO_STAND! Hope you had a great time at SYG over the Queens B'day weekend. We'd love you to join as a friend if you have made a committment to GO - even if you haven't, you can get plenty of encouragement and ask heaps of questions for the UNOH crew, John Jensen and Marcus Curnow. GO_STAND is about making a committment to follow the one who leads us to the rough places, the unpopular places to stand in solidarity with our poor brothers and sisters. Here you'll find regular Blogs and Comments from UNOH Mission Workers as well as John 'The Rev' Jensen (a great UNOH Wild One). You can fire questions at them and get insights, things to pray for and stories about how they are Going and Standing as they follow Jesus. Join us - GO and make a STAND!
Who I'd like to meet: Jackie Pullinger, Martin Luther King, Father Damien, St Francis, Dorothy Day, Jim Wallis, Tony Campolo, Shane Claiborne and the Psalters crew, (basically anyone who comes to UNOH's SURRENDER:07 Conference in July) All the teams and participants at SYG! and especially anyone has has risked it all for him - to follow his example and GO to the margins to STAND with the poor

Achieving the Millennium Development Goal of eradicating extreme poverty and hunger is attainable!!
Please take four minutes and listen to Enough For Everyone, one of the five songs on my profile. When Enough For Everyone is available for download and my new CD, All That Matters is released in July 2007 I will make a donation to the Presbyterian Hunger Program of one dime for every song download and CD purchased.
Thanks for your passion for the poor and for your work in our common goal of alleviating hunger and eliminating its causes.
For online registrations we've extended the early bird rate till the end of this coming Tuesday the 19th! There's now only just over a month to go until SURRENDER:07 so get your mates registered now! Get over to www.unoh.org and register online.

Hey there. SOO bummed I missed SYG this year! I've heard such good feedback about it! Also sounds like a lot of people were challenged to make a stand for Jesus! How awesome! Glad to know that the Sacred Space continues to kick on and be a place where people can really connect with God during such a crazy weekend! Blessings to you guys!

Thanks Marx for setting up the 'Shrine' Looks brilliant and I'm sure, made for a great space of contemplation about 'Going the distance' in the race of life!

For all SYG'ers and others who didnt quite get the myspace address for the concert that was talked about on the sunday night it is... www.myspace.com/imagine07concert
OK, only three days left for the early bird rate so get on over to www.unoh.org and register for SURRENDER this year - it's going to be one of the most foolish (and best) things you'll do!
us Urban Seeders are looking fwd to working on the sacred space at State Youth Games again. so glad we are all finally going to attempt to do a bit better on the altar call thing....perhaps a truly alter(native) call. The go stand idea got us thinking about a SHOE SHRINE for sacred space....still dreaming it up but the idea is to have different peoples shoes and stories around a burning bush.....heaps of sand for footprints etc.
