| FORM 990, PART I, LN 1 - SIG ACTIVITIES | OUR MOST SIGNIFICANT PROGRAM IS OUR ANNUAL THREE-DAY MUSIC FESTIVAL, CALLED ROCK THE DESERT. ROCK THE DESERT WAS BIRTHED OUT OF A DESIRE TO REACH TEENAGERS WITH THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST IN A WAY THAT APPEALED TO THEIR UNIQUE NEEDS, SENSIBILITIES, INTERESTS AND ATTENTION SPANS. YOUNG ADULTS ARE EXPOSED TO A VARIETY OF NEGATIVE SOCIAL PRESSURES AND INFLUENCES THAT ARE BOTH CONFUSING AND HARMFUL; AND IN WEST TEXAS THERE ARE FEW ENTERTAINMENT AND RECREATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES GEARED TOWARD YOUTH THAT ARE ENJOYABLE AND WHOLESOME. ROCK THE DESERT MUSIC FESITVAL, WAS ORGANIZED FOR THIS VERY REASON. OUR ANNUAL THREE-DAY MUSIC FESTIVAL HAPPENING IN AUGUST EVERY SUMMER INCLUDES OVER 30 CHRISTIAN MUSIC PERFORMANCES, FOOD VENDORS AND CAMPING. ROCK THE DESERT IS NOW KNOWN AS THE 5TH LARGEST CHRISTIAN MUSIC FESTIVAL IN THE COUNTRY AND OUR SUCCESS IS MEASURED BY THE LARGE NUMBER OF BAPTISMS IN OUR LAKE AND THE COUNTLESS DECISIONS FOR CHRIST.OUR SECOND MOST SIGNIFICANT ACTIVITY IS THE RTD SKATEPARK OPERATING ON THE GROUNDS OF ROCK THE DESERT. RTD SKATEPARK OPERATES ON TUESDAY, FRIDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHTS, AND WAS OPEN FOR USE DURING THE FESTIVAL. RTD SKATEPARK OFFERS FREE SKATE LESSONS ON SATURDAYS, TUESDAY NIGHT BIBLE STUDY AND EVENTS TO THE PUBLIC. RTD SKATEPARK HAS SEEN DOZENS OF DECISIONS MADE FOR CHRIST SINCE ITS OPENING IN 2014, AND OFFERS A SAFE ENVIRONMENT FOR THE YOUTH IN MIDLAND AND ODESSA TO ENJOY SKATEBOARDING. RTD SKATEPARK HAS BEEN A DREAM OF THE ROCK THE DESERT BOARD MEMBERES AND FOUNDERS FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS. THE GOAL IS TO TAKE THE SKATE MINISTRY HAPPENING AT THE FESTIVAL TO MORE OF A YEAR ROUND MINISTRY, AND IT HAS BEEN REALLY EXCITING AND FULFILLING TO SEE THAT DREAM BECOME A REALITY. |
