NATION OF THE UNDERGROUND - A NEW BEGINNING - JULY 24-27, 2008
NEWS:
Nation of the Underground is back!!! After a year and a half break, God has told us to once again host a NOTU conference here in Texas. We believe that God's purpose in this gathering is to set a new standard when it comes to raising up leaders and ministries within the Underground cultures of the world. It's time for the outcasts to rise up and take new ground in the name of Jesus. It's time for us to preach the Word of God with no apologies. It's time for us to walk in the presence of the Holy Spirit and see what can be done when He and only He is in control. It's time for the misfits and the outcasts to step up and become carriers of revival. This is where we believe that God is leading us concerning these four short days of gathering together in July. If nothing else, we just know that God wants to touch His people and He wants to give us His heart for a broken and dying world on its way to a literal hell. Come desperate to hear the voice of the Lord. Come thirsty for more of His Spirit. Come ready to take up your cross and follow Jesus to the end. These are the fires we seek at these meetings and nothing else. This is not just a conference. It is a time where the uncommon outcasts pour out their prayers like kerosine and stand back and watch as the Father lights the match. Hope to see you all there. - Micah 4:6,7
HISTORY:
Beginning in October 2002, people from all over the world have been coming to a little, hidden town in North Central Texas to attend an annual conference known as Nation of the Underground. Since its dawn, the vision has stayed the same: To raise up equipped subculture ministries, filled with the Word of God and the Spirit of God, in order to effectively reach and disciple the outcasts of this generation. This gathering is not for the faint of heart or the spiritually lazy. This is where spiritual fires begin and grow higher. It is where a window of heaven has been opened and hundreds of leaders and soon-to-be leaders have been refilled, refreshed, and released. It is a beautiful picture of God's grace and mercy upon the rejected and disrespected. But it is also the manifestation of the very Heart of the Father and the burning flame of the Holy Spirit in action. It is the name of Jesus once again being translated into every tribe, tongue, and nation...even the Outcast Nation (Micah 4:6,7). This is not merely a conference. This is an expression of a seemingly lost and forgotten people group that, despite every word of discouragement along the way, desire to not only die for the Gospel, but to actually live out the Gospel in their everyday lives. This is not rebellion. This is revolution. This...this is Nation of the Underground.
