The Saturday evening session opened with the Pacific District Board of Youth Ministries energizing the crowd with handing out free stuff - they shot Anaheim T-shirts out of an air cannon! Everybody loves free stuff. Then the first of the iPods, which will be handed out at every general session, was won by a Troy Green from Dinuba M.B. in California.

Then the Emcees, Andi and Trent, welcomed the crowd with some important information for the conference. Amanda Falk, a musician from Canada, performed a song called "Beautiful." After she was done singing, the worship band from Fresno Pacific University led worship and ushered in the presence of God.

Roy Crowne, National Director for Youth for Christ in Britain, presented an amazing message that caused hundreds of students to respond to God to transform the city and live differently. The theme for Anaheim 07 is "Everywhere," and Crowne was explaining that God is everywhere. He talked about an experience that he experienced as a 19-year old. An 11-year old who attended his youth club, challenged him to find God amidst the broken in the city, and he responded to the call. And he gave the same challenge to all the youth here at the conference. In the end five attendees accepted Christ!
