Vacation 5 - Waterbury C.T.

After our visit with family, we headed down to Connecticut for the end of the year GNOM surge.  GNOM is "Good News On the Move".  It is a group of young men that go around the United States sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ every year.  There were kids' clubs, door-to-door outreaches, and car washes.  Along with the other outreaches there were things for believers to do as well, such as, hymn sings, ultimate frisbee, and stuffing seed sower packets for the next day.  On the Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday of that week there were also meetings at the hotel on things like, "Can I trust the Bible?", "How can I know my future?", and "Does God care when I suffer?".  One of the speakers was in the Twin Towers on 9/11, he had lots of stories and was very interesting.  The other speaker was a well known author and actually started the "Good News On the Move" (GNOM) Bus.  It was very fun and I met a lot of new people.
