I had a great conversation today with the youth pastor at The Rock Church (where we are having the Anaheim ATF) today.  We talked about youth ministry and how to see this event full of young people and caring leaders.

I think it was very interesting to find out that this youth pastor (Tristan) has actually been on staff for several years in another department and was actually volunteering much of his time to youth ministry!  It kind of blows away how many people might think that "big" churches are privilege with finances and open schedules.  He introduced me to his district youth director and we had a great conversation as well.  I am very excited to see such passionate leaders in the Foursquare denomination and in SoCal.

Cali is my home state (I grew up in the Bay Area-yeah I'm sure to you us NorCal kids are a different breed :) ) so I'm pumped to here what you all are doing in the fight to rescue a young generation.

Hey everyone, thanks for reading our blog!

We're the new intern call team for the Anaheim ATF!  We just started the Honor Academy at Teen Mania Ministries in mid-August.

We are so excited to partner with you this year for the Anaheim event. God is going to do awesome things! 

Our heartbeat here at Acquire the Fire is to provoke a young generation to passionately pursue Jesus Christ and bring His life giving message to the ends of the earth. We want to capture the hearts of young people and raise them up as a generation who will follow God with all of their hearts! 

We want to see 1500 people at the Anaheim ATF this year. We hope that you will join the hundreds of teens, leaders and parents at this event. 

We believe that in coming to this event your teens will be changed dramatically and they will without a doubt encounter the love of God. Our intern team will be at the event and looks forward to getting to meet you in person there! 

We are here to serve you, youth pastors and teens alike. We are grateful that God has placed us in this ministry to be able to work and partner with you. Our call team is so excited to see the lives that will be changed and the new souls that Christ will win at ATF. 

We love you guys, and look forward to seeing you this year!

Lucas, Jacqueline, Arielle, Sarah, and Valerie

Hello Anaheim!

Isaiah 61:3
… They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the LORD for the display of his splendor.

Summer is Here!

We have just wrapped up our last event, “Here Comes Trouble” and we had a great season….

With this change in season there has come a new shift for us at Acquire The Fire. We are working diligently on the upcoming tour ‘THE ENCOUNTER’ where we truly want the heart of this generation to experience the love of the Lord in a new and eternal way.

We are excited to be partnering with The Rock Church again and will be anticipating great things as we kick off the event on November 6^th and 7^th
