It was dope as it really reminded me of our first Flavor Fest as we had about the same amount of people (70) come to the conference part. \x26nbsp;But, Uprock was even more organized then we were in our first year as they were able to take notes last year at the Fest and props to them as they really did things in excellence. \x26nbsp;Everyone got conference bags, T-Shirts, CD\x26amp;#8217;s, resources and they had 4 workshop tracks going at the same time. \x26nbsp;Really fresh! \x26nbsp;I met so many guys that were there from all over Australia as the \x26amp;#8220;Krosswerdz\x26amp;#8221; ministry has expanded to several different cities across the country where they are regularly hosting Christian Hip-Hop events. \x26nbsp;Many of these guys were all getting together in the same room at the same time for the first time\x26amp;#8230; there was a great sense of unity and excitement. \x26nbsp;Don\x26amp;#8217;t sleep on the Aussie\x26amp;#8217;s as there is some real talent over there and a real hip-hop purity vibe as they really live, eat and breath their craft. \x26nbsp;Groups like Brethren, Oakbridge, Broadcast, Purified, Izzy, Dying To Be Alive, Longjohn and so many others are really getting it in. \x26nbsp;There are several B-Boys and a grip of graffiti writers as well. \x26nbsp;Mistery is an internationally known graffiti writer and he got over $1,500 of paint donated for over a dozen artists to do this big piece on the side of the community center where \x26amp;#8220;The Embassy\x26amp;#8221; Church meets - it was dope - I\x26amp;#8217;ll post some shots of that coming up.\x0aOn Friday Night I also got to go to the well known \x26amp;#8220;Hillsong Church\x26amp;#8221; in Sydney. \x26nbsp;I performed a set at their main campus youth night. \x26nbsp;The place was packed with lots of energy. \x26nbsp;Immediately after my set we jumped in the car and drove 30 minutes to another Hillsong Campus that was much more urban and I performed and preached at that location. \x26nbsp;Afterwards we got to connect with the youth pastor James and chop it up about what God is doing through their amazing church.\x0aWe got to see a little bit of the city - Sydney is a beautiful place and the weather was perfect at this time of year. \x26nbsp;I even got to try some Kangaroo meat\x26amp;#8230; actually B-Boy Dyzee from Korea was brave enough to order it and he gave me a piece. \x26nbsp;It did NOT taste like chicken. \x26nbsp;It had a unique taste and it was a little tough\x26amp;#8230; so one piece was enough for me - lol. \x26nbsp;I had a great time building with Dyzee - he is a humble brother that has incredible skillz. \x26nbsp;He was so excited to be at the event and see what God is doing through hip-hop. \x26nbsp;The neighborhood we stayed in was called Canterbury and it was super diverse. \x26nbsp;I felt like I was in the middle east with all the Lebanese, Greek, Turkish and Muslim people and shops and eating spots. \x26nbsp;We ate Lebanese food, Thai, Vietnamese and I had an Aussie Beet Burger. \x26nbsp;All good stuff. \x26nbsp;It\x26amp;#8217;s truly a mission field that \x26amp;#8220;The Embassy\x26amp;#8221; Church is planted in. \x26nbsp;Their church has over 25 nationalities represented in it.\x0aOn Sunday we had church in the park at this big outdoor amphitheater. \x26nbsp;Worship was real dope as their worship team had Mistery and Oakbridge rhyming and doing some crowd chants. I felt at home! We sparked it off with a super cypha with about 15\x26amp;#160;MC\x26amp;#8217;s. \x26nbsp;Pastor Evan interviewed B-Boy Dyzee and the TMD Graffiti crew from New Zealand who were world champions at the biggest Graf contest\x26amp;#8230; and they fully rep Christ! \x26nbsp;Braille spit \x26amp;#8220;Blessed Man\x26amp;#8221;, and then I had the privilege to bring the word and shared from Mark 5. \x26nbsp;Several people responded to the gospel and several others that needed prayer. \x26nbsp;It was a great service. \x26nbsp;Then they had the huge B-Boy battle there in the park for the rest of the afternoon with dozens of B-Boys gettin\x26amp;#8217; it in. Mistery hosted this along with DJ Ranksta Boogie (when he wasn\x26amp;#8217;t dozing off - lol) and DJ Mathematics. \x26nbsp;There were also graffiti writers piecing up a huge portable wall. \x26nbsp;There was lots of great building that went on with people all afternoon. \x26nbsp;I got to connect with several cats throughout the afternoon as I just hung out talking. \x26nbsp;It was crazy to find that at least half a dozen of them had bought my Un.orthodox book and CD a few years back in the store over there. \x26nbsp;Big shout out to all the volunteers from The Embassy Church - you guys did a great job throughout the entire weekend! \x26nbsp;You were so welcoming and hospitable.\x0aOverall, I came back to the states tired, but super inspired to see what God is doing on the other side of the world. \x26nbsp;I\x26amp;#8217;m excited to be a small part of what he\x26amp;#8217;s doing in our generation. \x26nbsp;Pray for the Krosswerdz crew and The Embassy church as they are breaking new ground over there. \x26nbsp;They are pioneering in their country. \x26nbsp;I\x26amp;#8217;m looking forward to watching what God is going to do with them in the next few years. \x26nbsp;You can check them out at www.krosswerdz.com\x26nbsp;\x22 class=\x22tumblr_photo\x22/\x3e\x0a                \x0a                \x0a                    \x3cdiv class=\x22tumblr_caption\x22\x3e\x0a                        \x3cp\x3e11-15-11 - Just got back from the \x26#8220;Uprok Conference\x26#8221; in Sydney, Australia! \u00a0It was the Aussie\x26#8217;s first Christian Hip-Hop Summit and it was amazing. \u00a0About five years ago Pastor Evan was looking to start a church to engage Urban/Hip-Hop Culture in Sydney and they wanted to see if anyone else in the world was doing it. \u00a0They googled it and found Crossover Church. \u00a0They emailed us and we started a relationship with them online and we sent them some Soulmags and other resources that we\x26#8217;ve produced. \u00a0It was exciting to see something was jumping off on the other side of the planet. \u00a0About a year after that Pastor Evan came and visited us and spent a few days at our church just observing and building with our team. \u00a0He even stayed at the infamous intern house at our former campus - lol. \u00a0Not long after that his brother Matt aka Mistery came and spent some time with us and also stayed at the intern crib. \u00a0He did some grafitti pieces for us, went to a show with me and hung out with several of the guys from the church. \u00a0We were hearing the exciting news that they had jumped off this ministry called \x26#8220;Krosswerdz\x26#8221; where they were putting on Hip-Hop events once a month tied in with Pastor Evan\x26#8217;s new church \x26#8220;The Embassy\x26#8221;. \u00a0Two brothers working together playing on their strengths. \u00a0\x3c/p\x3e\x0a\x3cp\x3eIn October 2010 their ministry sent over an entire team to our 10th annual Flavor Fest. \u00a0They built a lot of new relationships at the Fest and really got inspired to what could happen next over in Australia with the scene over there. \u00a0They told me they had been dreaming about doing a conference and they felt like 2011 was the year\x26#8230; in fact they said\x26#8230; you guys did 10/10/10 - we\x26#8217;re gonna do 11/11/11 - LOL. \u00a0\x3c/p\x3e\x0a\x3cp\x3eThrough much prayer, planning, hard work and sacrifice the first \x26#8220;Uprock Conference\x26#8221; popped off with great success. \u00a0I had the honor of being invited to come out and speak, do workshops, preach at their Sunday service and perform at the concert. \u00a0My man Braille Brizzy was also in the house from the US. \u00a0We had a great time hanging out together throughout the weekend and we even flew on the same flight from LA.

\u00a0You were so welcoming and hospitable.\x3c/p\x3e\x0a\x3cp\x3eOverall, I came back to the states tired, but super inspired to see what God is doing on the other side of the world. \u00a0I\x26#8217;m excited to be a small part of what he\x26#8217;s doing in our generation. \u00a0Pray for the Krosswerdz crew and The Embassy church as they are breaking new ground over there. \u00a0They are pioneering in their country. \u00a0I\x26#8217;m looking forward to watching what God is going to do with them in the next few years. \u00a0You can check them out at \x3ca href=\x22http://www.krosswerdz.com\x22 target=\x22_blank\x22\x3ewww.krosswerdz.com\x3c/a\x3e\u00a0\x3c/p\x3e\x0a                    \x3c/div\x3e\x0a                \x0a            \x3c/li\x3e\x0a        \x0a\x0a        \x0a\x0a        \x0a        \x0a        \x0a        \x0a        \x0a\x0a                        \x0a    \x0a        \x0a            \x3cli class=\x22tumblr_post tumblr_text_post\x22\x3e\x0a                \x0a                    \x3cdiv class=\x22tumblr_title\x22\x3eCROSSOVER\x26#8217;S ONE YEAR CELEBRATION 11/6\x3c/div\x3e\x0a                \x0a                \x0a                \x3cdiv class=\x22tumblr_body\x22\x3e\x0a                    \x3cp\x3eI can\x26#8217;t believe that a year ago we were preparing for our official grand opening in our new 43,000 square foot facility. \u00a0It has been a crazy year\x26#8230; a year of incredible growth and learning. \u00a0It has been the most exciting year of my life and the most challenging by far. \u00a0Sunday Nov. 6th we are having a huge celebration. \u00a0We\x26#8217;re combining our 2 morning services at 11am (instead of 10 and 11:45) - so it\x26#8217;s going to be super packed and we are still doing our 7pm service as well. \u00a0We\x26#8217;re going to have some people share some testimonies, God has given me a special message and we\x26#8217;re going to have our largest baptism in our church\x26#8217;s history - we can\x26#8217;t wait to see what God is going to do. \u00a0We also have our friend \x26#8220;Benjah\x26#8221; who will be in the building in concert!
