2 Days!!

In just 2 days, we get to meet the people of God - the people that He is moving to take in more of HIM.

We are praying for you and your time while here! We pray that the mighty Holy Spirit protects you physically and spiritually so that NOTHING prevents you from attending! We pray that God is already at work in your hearts and minds and soul so that you are an open vessel to receive all that He has in store for you!

We pray that you pray the same for others that are attending as well!

TO GOD BE THE GLORY!

Ready for what GOD wants to do in your life?

What if God showed you His grand plan to include YOU in building His Kingdom.

What if God listed the dates of when you were to show up, what you would be wearing and who would be with you!

What if He told you in advance what the obstacles would be and how He would show you just how powerful He is and how much He loves you so that you overcame every single hurdle!

Let us know if that ever happens....we've never seen it.

But we have seen God use ordinary people - the least likely - the most unsuspecting humans to do the most extraordinary work..with our very own eyes! It just took that person to be brave enough to say "yes" and humble enough to know that it would HAVE TO BE GOD to make it work.

We are excited to present a workshop over 2 days (Friday-Saturday) to inspire you, challenge you, encourage you and remind you that YOU were made specifically for God's purpose and HE is waiting for you to take the next step toward new territory of YIKES!

The workshop will include 3 of the Top Rated Presentations from the previous Willow Creek Leadership Summit.

August 12/13

Friday Dessert Reception: 7:30pm to 9pm

Saturday Workshop: (lunch included) 8:30am to 2:30pm

August 26/27

Friday Dessert Reception: 7:30pm to 9pm

Saturday Workshop: (lunch included) 8:30am to 2:30pm

This is all FREE – because we believe that NOTHING should come between GOD working in your life and YOUR obedience. Perhaps this can be the beginning to a new path or a time to reignite a lost passion or a forgotten mission.

Ready? Let us know!! We hope you say "I'm there!"

Summer...it's NOT just for vacations!

From the date of the last posting....ummm 2007?! It appears this blogger has been on "vacation" for way too long!!

But after all the great and inspiring events from April:
3 Good Friday Services
10 Easter Services
5 Watoto Childrens' Choir Services
1.5 day Neil Anderson Conference and the 4 Services
As well as our regular 4 services every weekend - well, I'm getting a little restless. Even to the point of dare I say - bored?

So, with the summer months looming and everyone taking their much deserved and needed vacations -perhaps this summer will present itself as more than time off. Yes - we all need that balance in our lives and yes, even Jesus rested - even God rested!

This is not about that kind of rest - that will indeed happen!

This is more about reflection - allowing God to remind me of what He has done for and in this Ministry and also about taking the time to be open to what He wants next for His kingdom. That simply cannot happen in the busy season of Christmas and Easter in our world.

But the summer time - aahhhhh - perhaps this time will be his tool for His good pleasure.
