Excel was amazing. As usually. The Speakers were great Monty Hip and Derek Levendusky made a follow up appearance from last year. Monty was the man and Derek had some awesome stories from his missions trips. The main speaker, Preston(a.k.a. Shriek) was really awesome but we didn't see as much as of the main speakers in the past. In past years the main speaker was up on stage everyday but this year the stage time was given to many other speakers. I'm not complaining but it was nice getting to know the one main speaker. All of the speakers were great especially Carrie Abbott, she came on stage and said that she was going to talk about sexuality. and the auditorium was stilled in an awkward silence. Nobody knew what was coming next and everyone was uncomfortable. But i think it is safe to say that see quickly had the attention and gratitude. She made us laugh, cheer and look at our selves for who we are, men and women of God. At the end of her first sermon she received a standing ovation for the crowd. The worship band was Fusebox for this year and they were amazing, the lead singers vocals were outstanding. Jake Tyler, the storyteller, was great as always. It was another great year at Excel. Breakfast and lunch at Compton's and free time spent making new friends and building upon old friendships. A friendship in my life was strongly strengthened and revived. I can say with complete confidence that Excel is and awesome tool for Christians to come and fellowship, grow from each other, grow with each other, and meet God and receive refreshment and revival.
