After 29 Years, Cornerstone Festival Comes to a Close

Cornerstone Festival, hosted by Jesus People, USA (JPUSA), has taken place in Illinois every year since 1984. One of the first festivals featured Amy Grant early in her career. The Christian festival has biblically-based seminars, an art show, kids programs, a skate park and sports tournaments. But the main focus has been the music. Originally, Cornerstone Festival was held in Chicago but quickly outgrew the venue there. It has since been held in Bushnell, Ill., a rural location west of Peoria, Ill. The last festival will be July 2 to 7.

His humble response to praises and his generosity on the court (sports commentators have repeatedly noted how Lin shares the ball with his teammates), have even inspired Taiwan's president, Ma Ying-jeou, to crack a joke this week that he wished his cabinet would also demonstrate Lin's team spirit.
