She answered our questions on July 16, 2007.

---------


90&9: What’s the first NAYC you attended and what do you remember from it? 

MO: Well let's see, that would have been about the time that Moses crossed the Red Sea . . . and all I remember is “I can't believe there are so many youth on fire for God, this is awesome!”
 
90&9: What’s your favorite NAYC Memory?

MO: We were on the bus after a night service and, as we started singing, the Lord took over and youth were dancing, speaking in tongues, and slain in the Spirit on the bus. When we arrived at the hotel, the manager gave us one of their meeting rooms; we were up half the night experiencing Pentecost—“these are not drunk as ye suppose!”
 
90&9: What do you see as the biggest challenge for Apostolic youth today?

MO: Professional Pentecostalism—we know just what to do, and when to do it. Is it for real or is it tradition?  As a new generation begins to take the reins, are they going to be tempted to change the values and fences that our forefathers have established or will they stand, and, if necessary, stand alone? “As for me and my house we will serve the Lord!”
 
90&9: I can’t live without…

MO: My baby boy, Mason James
 
90&9: The last item I downloaded was…

MO: A song for my phone
