Pastor Barnes traveled to Durham, North Carolina to take part in the Durham
District's Annual Youth and Young Adult Weekend in early February 2007.
The weekend started with a beautiful banquet and continued into Saturday's
Hip-Hop Summit, with sessions for youth, young adults, and more seasoned adults.
Pastor Barnes presented to the adults about what hip-hop is, what it isn't, and
how it can be used in the church.
