Band:
Undefeated Undefeated is back! They are made up of 3 Upstate NY siblings. While their background is rock music, they will be leading ABY in worship throughout our weekend. Meredith, Christian and Lis decided from the beginning that if God was in this, God would build and direct the way. With their metal influence and the influence of lyrists like Flyleaf, these three are sure to bring the convention into a place of energy and worship.

Mission Project:
Children Rescue International Goal: $10,000 CRI seeks to mobilize loving and qualified Pastors, Caregivers, Educators, Administrative Personnel, and Volunteers to establish Children’s Homes, Schools, and Medical Clinics in Liberia. Facilities and programming are designed to care for orphaned children until they are adopted, fostered, or leave us as independent adults. We also partner with impoverished neighboring families as they worship, educate their children, and pursue medical care. This year's money raised will establish a school in the remote village of Dewoblee. This school is a key to unlocking unthinkable poverty and families having to send their children away for education. |
