Unpacking the theme of NYC 2011 - A World Unbroken

At NYC 2011 students will engage in daily worship sessions (referred to as “episodes”) that help give a foundation for the narrative of Christ. Here is a glimpse of how students will be called to live A WORLD UNBROKEN:

A WORLD UNBROKEN is about students interactively existing within the narrative of the Bible; inspiring them towards artistic creativity, genuine prayer and real community. The experience will stretch students spiritually and show them the restorative attributes of displaying a Christ-like love to a broken and shattered world.

The Goal is to lead students into a new rhythm of living—embodying a lifestyle of justice, mercy, holiness, gentleness, perseverance, kindness and love. The goal is that this rhythm would continue for the rest of their lives. The dream is A WORLD UNBROKEN.

Within the CREATE episode students will stand in awe of the Creator’s work and establish a rhythm of cultivation and care as they accept their role as stewards over the earth.

Within the BROKEN episode students will grasp and mourn the separation caused by our rebellion and embrace confession, not only personally but also corporately. They will hone the skill of accepting mercy.

Within the PROMISE episode students will learn what it means to be truly His no matter what. They will examine God’s Covenant with His children and His extreme faithfulness. PROMISE will speak of what is to come and what it means to listen for, wait for, and dream of His coming.

Within the PRESENCE episode students will encounter the ministry of Jesus and learn to live likewise—being intentional with time, living out the Beatitudes, establishing a faith that heals, and practicing extreme sacrifice.

Within the SATISFIED episode students will examine amazing grace—taking their place at the table to feast and celebrate. They will wonder at the mystery of The Spirit and encounter and embrace Shalom.

Within the MISSION episode students will capture God’s vision for the Church and His followers by living out justice and discipleship. They will encounter a new and lifelong rhythm of preparation, restoration, and perseverance until heaven comes to Earth.

Within the RESTORED episode students will commit to silence and listening as their prophetic imaginations form a dream of A World Unbroken. And once they have learned to listen, God will show them how to lead.
