Mid-february every year, the CCO puts on a conference in Pittsburgh for college students to attend. This year about 3,000 students attended with their campus ministers. Students arrived on Friday at the convention center and left on Sunday. During their time at the conference they got to hear from renowned Christian speakers including James K.A. Smith, Robin Capcara, David Kinnamin, Eric Mason, Saleem Ghubril, Richard Mouw, and Bob Goff. Between the main sessions, students can attend breakout sessions tailored to certain areas of interest. All sessions are designed to help students recognize God's calling in their vocation and so breakout sessions are led by architects, musicians, educators, authors, researchers, pastors, and a host of other people who are dedicated to serving Christ no matter what they are called to. I've included some pictures to give you a feel for what the weekend was like.
Main session
Steve Taylor, director of the new movie Blue Like Jazz, talking about the hardships his team went through to get the movie to the big screen. Wish my brother could have seen this.
David Greusel, a local architect, leading a breakout session. Cory got a chance to talk to him afterwards.
The band
Shaun Groves sings a song and tells us about Compassion International.
Eric Mason tells us about redemption. Cory and I felt bad for the next speaker... Eric was a tough act to follow.
Jubilee 2012 was a succcess!
