God moved in a mighty way during the past 12 days of Code Orange Revival! These pictures are just a glimpse of some of the most powerful moments.

And here’s a video our team put together to celebrate what God has already done through the first part of 2012. This is not a highlight reel – it’s a preview of what God is going to do this year.

This is such an exciting time for our church. Not only did Code Orange Revival kick off last night, but we have also launched a brand new initiative that will open up unlimited opportunity to reach people all over the world with the power of the gospel. As a church we have always sought to leverage technology to increase our platform for ministry, so we have launched The Elevation Network: a 24 hour a day, 7 day a week Gospel preaching ministry.

The Elevation Network is our gift to you, and is a free online network that will stream round the clock gospel preaching. When you tune into the network, you will see our current sermon of the week airing every four hours, past sermons from our archives, creative elements from our sermon series and worship songs that were birthed right here in our own church. It’s your channel for all things Elevation with the sole purpose of reaching people far from God all over the world.

The Elevation Network also gives us the ability to stream live events, so it is only fitting that we are launching it with Code Orange Revival. The network will be the only place you can watch the revival as it’s happening, and we hope that you take advantage of it and join us in the incredible things we are going to see God do over the next twelve days. It is built so that you can easily share with others, so we would love your help in getting the word out.

The network is broadcasting right now and goes live again tonight at 6:12 PM EST with our revival pre-show, and then Code Orange Revival begins at 7 PM EST. Join us at www.elevationnetwork.com.

We wanted to share a quick insider, behind the scenes look on the eve of the launch of the Code Orange Revival. Make your plans to join us starting tonight at 6:12pm.

I ripped off that phrase-be a bringer- from my friend @KevinGerald. He uses it to remind his church of their responsibility to be witnesses for Christ. Not only should we invite people who are far from God to come to church-we should bring them with us. We should do whatever we can to compel them. Because there is a great chance their life will be changed in the presence of Jesus Christ.

Of course, as our Christmas worship experiences approach at Elevation, we’re putting a lot of effort into motivating our people to be bringers. If you’re planning on worshipping with us this Christmas, I hope you’ve got tickets already, not only for your family, but for someone in your life who needs to find hope in Christ.

You can still get tickets to most worship experiences at codeorangechristmas.com
They’re free, and they’re simply a tool for us to guarantee we have a spot for everyone who makes the effort to come.
There are 30 different worship experience times to choose from in the Charlotte area, and many more at Elevation Extension locations around the world.
You can see a list of those locations here.

We’re going all out to present the Gospel this Christmas. The opportunity is great. The need is urgent. And although public worship gatherings aren’t the only way someone can come to Christ, we’ve seen thousands respond to Jesus in this environment. We believe God moves in a special way when His Church comes together. Not just in our church, but anywhere the Gospel is preached.

The other day, I was standing in a particular place that made me think about how much difference one invite could make. I decided to pull out my phone and record a video on the spot.

Believers all over the world, let’s be bringers this Christmas season.
You never know the impact your invitation could initiate.
