Missional Living & American Idol

It's pretty funny to me how well the entertainment industry wields it's influence. I believe the church could learn something. If you haven't gotten to see American Idol's "Idol Gives Back Campaign" you should check it out. The video interviews are pretty powerful. You can see them at American Idol Web Site.

How'd they get Elvis there? My wife and I thought it was just an impersonater, but maybe it was trick videography.

Anyway - Yes, the event was amazing. I held back the tears as I tried to figure out why the church isn't taking on this endeaver.

It disgusted me the way they compared the dying in Africa with overweight children in America who's parents can't read. I understand that it may be hard to find and keep a job in certain parts of the US, but they aren't dying of a preventable disease.
