The second annual conference for young adults, DRIVEN06, being held on the campus of Kenyon College in Gambier, Ohio, is off to the strangest of starts.
Ezra Wimberly of the Norton North Grace campus (center, with guitar) led in worship, but without any electricity. The rain and winds that tore through central Ohio just as most of the participants were arriving knocked out the power to the entire Kenyon campus for the entire evening. (Dr. David Plaster actually watched a semi-trailer being toppled by the wind along Rt. 23 near Marion, OH)
So with only flashlights and one video light from John Ward’s portable video camera as lighting, the approximately 150 registrants met for an evening of fellowship, praise, and challenge. The power came on again at 1:52 a.m. this morning (Friday).
Today’s activities begin with a full round of workshops at 8:45 a.m. Further information on the conference and schedule are on www.driven06.org.
