One Way Music Festival

JESUS ROCKS!!! WE ARE PROOF!!!

About Me

The One Way Music and Camping Festival is the newest thing to hit the Christian music scene!

And...it was done! July 20-23, 2006. Smithville, Missouri was the place to be!! One Way is the first Christian festival of this magnitude to be held in the Heartland region. Families from everywhere traveedl and join together for a music and camping experience like no other. All agree, they can't wait for next year's event.

The One Way Festival is more than a music festival. it is truly the best of both worlds - a camping retreat and music festival all in one! On July 20th, individuals and groups attending the event will be able to set up their tents and take a first look at their new home for the next 4 days. Smithville Lake is a perfect home away from home. It has over 1,500 acres of land, next to a 7,200 acre lake. Smithville Lake is known for its beauty and recreational activities, and it's located almost exactly in the middle of the USA...just 15 minutes north of Kansas City!

We are in the works right now as I type this, preparing for One Way '07! It's all in the mix and I can tell you it's going to rock! Tickets will be on sale for 2007 starting Sept. 12th. And you can get an early bird special on tickets (posted in the link below)! We have specials for groups larger than 10 as well! If you were at the show last year you know it rocked...and it's going to rock even harder in 2007! Keep posted to this site or the one way site for updates and announcements on bands!!! Want tickets??? Shoot us an email here or visit our one way web page at www.onewayfestival.org ! Also contact me to let me know if your church is interested in getting involved, or if you are a band or a speaker that wants to preform be involved as well!

The One Way Festival's mission is to facilitate interdenominational worship through music and fellowship. Events include performances by top Christian artists, inspirational guest speakers, promising regional bands, 4 days of camping, games and fun for the whole family! In addition to over 50 of the hottest national and regional acts, One Way Festival offers a variety of special events for youth pastors, volunteers, teenagers, parents and children. Add all these features together and you have an "EVENT" that is not only fun and exciting, but life-changing!

The goal of The One Way Festival is to provide a family-oriented venue for worship and fellowship that will elevate to the highest places in Heaven. We are excited to see the changes that God will bring to the small, interior, personal places, and then watch as He moves into the exterior, much larger, community space. We believe that over time, and with persistence, we can see this desire of God's heart fulfilled. His desire is to know you more! As our large community assembles, come ready to challenge the limitations of your present circumstances and abilities.

The One Way Festival is in affiliation with Gospel for Asia!

About Gospel for Asia

Planting Churches in Unreached Areas: In each aspect of Gospel for Asia’s ministry, the primary aim is to plant churches among the unreached — those who have never heard the Gospel.

Sending Native Missionaries: Gospel for Asia trains and sends native missionaries because they have proven extremely effective. They are already familiar with the language and culture, and they live at the level of the people they serve, thus removing many social barriers.

100 Percent Goes to the Field: Gospel for Asia sends 100 percent of the money you donate for work on the mission field to the field. Nothing is taken out for administrative expenses.

GSA "We Believe...

That the Bible is the verbally inspired, inerrant Word of God. It is the complete revelation of His will for salvation and the only unfailing rule of faith and practice for the Christian life.

In one God, Creator of all things, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and that these three are co-eternal and of equal dignity and power.

In the deity of Jesus Christ; His miraculous conception by the Holy Spirit; His virgin birth; His sinless life; His substitutionary death on a cross; His bodily resurrection; His ascension to the right hand of the Father; and His personal, imminent return.

That man was created by and for God; that by man's disobeying God, every person incurred spiritual death, which is separation from God, and physical death as a consequence; and that all people are sinners by nature and practice.

The Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins and that all who believe in Him are declared righteous because of His sacrificial death and are, therefore, in right relationship with God.

In the present ministry of the Holy Spirit indwelling all believers and thus enabling and empowering the life and ministry of the believer.

In the bodily resurrection of everyone who has lived, the everlasting blessedness of those in right relationship with God, and the everlasting punishment of those who have rejected God's forgiveness in His Son.

My Interests

I would like to ask you a questoin...If you were to die today, where would you go? Can you say you are 100% sure that you would go to heaven? What would you say if I told you that I have a golden ticket for you that would assure you 100% that you would spend eternity in heaven...do you want it? Here it is.

Romans 10:9-10

9. because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10. For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved.

AND ALSO

11. For the Scripture says, “Everyone who believes in him will not be put to shame.” 12. For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; the same Lord is Lord of all, bestowing his riches on all who call on him. 13. For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

Alright! You are saved! Now What...how do I stay saved you are asking? Well that is easy! Start to build a relationship with the Lord through prayer, learn the way's of Christ and what God wants from us in our lives by reading the Bible, and pray that God lead you to the right church. I know a lot of folks say "Well I don't need church to have God". That is kinda true...but you need church to be fed the word. You go to school to learn to be a nurse or an artist or whatever, so you need to go to church to learn about Christ and how to serve him. You also need church to be around like minded people, that will catch you when you start to fall. The bible say's where two or more are gathered I am there also. When we get saved we have to start a new life, we must kill our flesh and begin to walk a new and wonderful path with the Lord, we have to turn from our old ways, make new friends, learn, read, pray...for ourselves and others, and let people pray for you too.

You may say "well it's borring to be a Christian" You don't stop having fun just because you have Jesus in your life now. I have more fun now that I am saved then I ever did in the world. We still have parties, we still go out, socialize, and we do so much more, and we don't have to worry about getting caught by the cops, going to jail for a DUI, passing out and not remembering what happened the night before, wondering if you got an STD or pregnant from last nights events...in fact, you don't have to worry AT ALL, because God's word tells us let tomorrow worry about its self, he takes care of nature and the birds, how much more important in the fathers eyes are we than them? May God bless you in your life and may you stay strong, worship him, and tell others!

I'd like to meet:

YOU!!!

Music:

Faith is the Foundation: This event is propelled by faith, in faith. Our desire is that connecting individuals, groups and denominations as the body of Christ will create a rare community of grace.

Love is the Action: The refrain of one of my favorite songs, based on John 13:35, goes "They will know we are Christians by our love." Organizing, traveling and being together at a four day lakeside music and camping festival absolutely requires love!

Hope is the Attitude: Our hope is this event will help grow ministries by creating and strengthening relationships, and changing lives.

Serve the Lord with gladness; come before His presence with singing. Psalm 100:2

Heroes:

Give the Lord Jesus all the glory, honor, and praise
