Festivals...Man these things are Huge

I have stumbled upon an organization by the name of the Christian Festival Association(CFA). This entity is a gathering of various Christian Festivals that take place throughout the United States. What I have found really interesting about these festivals is that they are so well planned, and in places that attract a huge gathering of believers. These Festivals happen throughout the year, and take place in places like Atlanta, Ga, California, and places not even heard of like Mt. Union, Pennsylvania. There is a total of 27 different Christian Festivals that are attached to the Christian Festival Association. The planning of these faith events encourage me very much, because they show me that believers can gather in big numbers, 20,000 to be exact, but also that they can gather to have fun, get sound ministry, as well as do something outside of the confines of a natural church edifice. 



With my company "The Fusion Concept," I definitely have interlaced the the idea of having a similar type festival in the regions of NJ/Fl. There is currently one in New Jersey, but not from where I am from, and as for Florida the nearest festival that takes place near the sunshine state, is over in Atlanta, which is about 7 hours away from Orlando. The Artists that come out to these events are very active in the Entertainment Industry, such as Skillet, Casting Crowns, Toby Mac, the News Boys, Prayz1 & the UnderDogz, Natalie Grant, Chris Tomlin, and Canton Jones etc. Even with lign-up the festivals that are a part of the CFA, still seem to only reach a portion of the Christian Market. So me bringing the demographic of urban city youth to such grandiose festivals, definitely would seem as a good business venture, and a way to broaden an already dynamic organization, such as the CFA. These Festivals, and the type that I want to be a part of, bring fellowship and training up the next generation together. The Festivals serve as retreat type outings for local churches and their youth departments. As being a part of a youth department growing up, as well as Gospel Choir Leadership in College, events such as Christian Festivals were always sought out but never found. The festivals were either not in my area, or we just didn't know about them. The Festival component would be a great asset to the founding and spreading awareness of my company "The Fusion Concept."
