1. Special free worship event this Sat March 10, 8:30am at ATT Park in SF, part of Battlecry event!

I plan to attend this special free worship event in SF this Sat. Hope to see you there and remember to bring a portable radio!

Message from Ron Luce:
You may already know that next Saturday at the Battlecry event we are starting at 8:30 in the morning with a time of prayer and worship. This is the same schedule as the Battlecry event last year.

BUT, something has just happened over the past few days that would prevent this worship service. A last minute noise ordinance restricting the use of our sound system until 10 AM has been imposed. This means that there can be no amplification of the worship band, no way for teens or anyone to hear and be led in prayer and worship.

We will honor the law and lawmakers, but we will not let these voices be stopped.

So here is what we are planning to do. We have partnered with KFAX AM 1100 radio to broadcast a special "Rise Up" worship session led on-stage from the Battlecry event. We will have 25,000 teenagers raising their voices in prayer and worship unified at the stadium through the sounds from their radios that we are asking everyone to bring.

Imagine a worship service where thousands of youth groups are gathered together across the stadium praying and praising God together. They will see the worship band and the video screens, but hear nothing through the sound system... only through their radios. I don’t think any Christian gathering in this country has ever been forced to do anything like this before.

We want to invite all the adults, all the parents, all the senior pastors, all the church leadership from your church to join us for this special service on Saturday morning INSIDE THE STADIUM. Every Christian, every adult who loves and supports these teens, everyone who believes these voices shouldn’t be silenced needs to be there.

There will be absolutely no admission charge for this special worship service.

This is a crucial time in our fight for this generation. Thank you and your church for standing up for the voices of teenagers.

If you have any questions, or know that there are additional people from your church that would like to come, please call us immediately at 1-877-650-6515.

God bless you and this entire teenage generation,

Ron Luce

P.S. We are asking all attendees to bring their small, hand-held AM/FM radios to the event.
