Day 1 Atlanta

Greetings from Atlanta, what a day it has been to get to my destination. My morning started out at 3am with an hour and a half drive. Then at around 4:30am I hopped in one of my good pastor friends car and we drove 3 hours to Dfw, We then jumped on a plane for a few hours, then once again got in a car and drove another hour. Even in the midst of sleep deprivation and a long day, I am truly encouraged. I am encouraged by over 13,000 young pastors from all over the country uniting together to gain insight, wisdom, and refreshment from some of most courageous Christians I have ever met, but most of all from our Creator. God is definitely showing me quite a few directional things that I will reveal in the days ahead.

Today I got to meet with numerous organizations around the world that make some noise by fighting all sorts of injustice...I'm sure in the next few days and months Mission Abilene will partner with a few of these particular organizations.

I am also encouraged by checking the updates on M.A.'s facebook about the clean water project in Brazil. Scripture reveals to us in Matthew 19:26 Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” There is no doubt in my mind the people of Brazil are witnessing this Scripture come to life as they are able to experience a drink of clean, safe, water for the very first time. God is so good, and may we never forget that HE DESERVES ALL THE GLORY FOR THIS WATER MOVEMENT, not a single one of us. Wellington my friend, the people of Mission Abilene stand with you, heart and soul, and we will continue to partner with you in the days ahead to make an even greater impact on behalf of our King in your land.

Blessings to all of you that follow my blog, I pray you are encouraged that God is not asleep but more awake than ever. I pray you are encouraged that He is moving, and will continue to move as long as we stay out of His way.

Till tomorrow, good night friends.

TWO DAYS FROM NOW

Catalyst Atlanta 2011 {Be Present} Preview from Catalyst on Vimeo.

Two days from now I am going to catch a flight to Atlanta for a much needed time of refreshment and refinement. After a season of busyness it's time for me to snag a few days of time away to catch my breath and allow God to refuel me. I wanted to share with you a glimpse of what I will experience.

Voices.

This week I challenged my team to list 5 people that have a dominant voice in their life. I'm going to cheat a little bit and list a few more than five dominant voices in my life.


My wife, my grounding wire and cheerleader
My parents, a constant refuge of support and encouragement
My children, they teach me more about God's love each day
My pastoral mentors, they provide support, correction,and discernment
My staff, they exemplify sacrifice, service, and steadfastness
My friends, they provide a safe refuge for me
