Family Enrichment Conference

Although it sounds formal, the conference will be an open experience. It will be open to over 6,000 delegates. It will be open to fun and SA fellowship in full. It will be open to seeing good friends and sharing our lives. It will be open to Bible Bowl and Star Search excitement. It will be open for public concerts by Mending Point, Jars of Clay and the New York Staff Band. It will be open for prayer gatherings, family workshops, tailgating parties, the commissioning of the cadets, and the Hershey Amusement Park will be open. Even the General will be there and will be open about his hopes for us in Christ.

Let us, therefore be open to the Spirit of God, to what He says and how he leads. Let this openness be for each one of us and for the territory. Let us look to this as a defining moment in our individual and family journey. Open eyes, minds, hearts, wills, and hopes. I am believing for an outpouring of God upon us. Those who are open will be filled.

"By entering through faith into what God has always wanted to do for us - —set us right with him, make us fit for him - —we have it all together with God because of our Master Jesus. [2] And that's not all: We throw open our doors to God and discover at the same moment that he has already thrown open his door to us. We find ourselves standing where we always hoped we might stand - —out in the wide open spaces of God's grace and glory, standing tall and shouting our praise." Romans 5:1-2 (MsgB)

Hoorrrraaaaayyyy! Yay Star Search, ahh I'm so nervous..I'm so glad that the Staff Band has arrived home safely and have had a successful trip. That party that is going on till early morning seems like it's going to be AWESOME! I love events like this, seeing everybody and being around so many Christians, I almost feel as if I'm at home.
Well I'm off to start packing, I go down early Thursday morning!
God Bless, Love,
Allison
