First In Last Out… Together – FILO exists to encourage and support technical artists who create moments that connect people to Jesus, no matter where they are in the world or how big or small their church is. This means some of our friends in under-resourced communities can only afford to attend FILO for roughly $6. Unfortunately, revenue generated from the conference is simply no longer enough to fill the gap and reach more people. This is where you come in! Will you join us? FILO.org/donate

MxU Pop-Ups – Check out these one-day events designed to equip you with leadership training and an opportunity to engage with other worship and tech leaders in your city. Todd will be at a few of the stops and he’d love to see you there! Learn more at getmxu.com/pop-ups.
