Rodeo: The army has gathered

We just finished the gathering of the army - 320 people attended tonight's volunteer organizational meeting for the Rodeo tomorrow. I think we had a small taste of what Gideon and his force may have experienced as they got together.

The field is set. Tents are up and staying up. The sound system is in place. The arena is up, bleachers are ready. The animals are scheduled to arrive tomorrow morning and a few people are camping out on the field tonight for the fun of it and for security. It's all coming together in a very amazing way and I'm seeing so many different positive things coming out of this even before we start building relationships with people we've never met or seen before. I've been taking pictures to document all of this, but haven't shared them because you gotta come check it out in person... even if you live in France, find some way to get over here!
