Conference Begins

Yesterday was a strong day, once again. Thom and I met with an investment company that is looking into creating a non-profit foundation to help fund ministries that are engaging in Isaiah 58 type work among the poor, widowed, orphaned, and oppressed. Thom recommended that they broaden their tent to take their influence overseas to India and China. It was a fruitful meeting and it is awesome to see believers using their positions of influence to impact the nations.

The conference started with worship lead by the worship team from Family Life Bible Fellowship. They absolutely rocked the house! They are a predominately African American congregation, and their worship of the Lord was full of so much joy and passion. It was an incredible blessing.  We had a really good crowd with people from several other churches. We heard from speakers from the Air Force, the arts, media, and business communities. Thom spoke about how the 21st century is the sister century to the 1st century and how God is moving from impacting the world with the ordained to raising up and using the ordinary. He then shared from the story of the loaves and fishes and how God uses whatever is in our hand to bring Him glory.

It was an incredible time of worship, learning, and fellowship. I love it when people from multiple churches across denominations and races can come together to grow and worship Christ. We are all in this together and we seek to give Him praise. It seemed that people really began to grasp the concept of our work being worship and witness. The kids had a really good experience as well, as we had a really large crowd of children. All in all, God really seemed to move.

We start again this morning at 8:30am and go to noon, and then, we have our roundtable discussion in the evening. I'm believing God for great things!
