update from May 8 post

Many of you prayed for Sarai, a little girl who, 3 months ago, was removed by her drug addicted father from Casa Shalom orphanage in Guatemala. Thank God, she was returned to the home late last night. Understand, this was a matter of life and death for this precious little one. God spared her. Thanks for praying. Let’s now pray that she will not suffer long-term results of the ordeal she has been through over the past few months.

See you guys on August 21-22 at the Fusion Conference!

2009 Fusion Young Leaders Forum

Hey guys! We wanted to share the news that the 2009 Fusion Forum has been approved and scheduled. Woo hoo! The dates are August 21-22 (fri-sat) at the the Hilton Clearwater Beach Resort (the same place we had it last year).

All Florida pastors and spouses, under the age of 45, are invited to register and attend. Lodging and one meal will be provided FREE OF CHARGE. We want to make it as easy as possible for you to make it.

We will have info and registration cards located on the Ministries Table during campmeeting. Please stop by, pick one up, and register this week. If you aren't going to be at campmeeting, just shoot one of us an e-mail and we'll get you signed-up.

Last year was a great start, and this year promises to be even better. Look for more posts here about the event.

See you soon!

Fusion Florida Team

Hope to see you guys at Campmeeting

Campmeeting in Florida begins next week. We are really hoping for a good representation from the Fusion tribe. I know we have shared it before but this group is having a positive influence in the State. An example would be the new nursery and restrooms that have been constructed in the Worship Center at the campgrounds. While we did not do the actual construction, we did dialogue with the State team about the need for these improvements. Guys, they have responded and now those of you with young kids will find it easier to attend events at the Convention Center.

Let's do our best to show our appreciation and interest by being involved in the State meetings like Campmeeting. Hope to see you there! Beside, Wimauma is so lovely this time of year!

Leadership Summit Highlights

Here's Highlight One from Willow's 2008 Leadership Summit.

What say you?

pray for a little one

Pray for Sarai. This week, her father removed her from Casa Shalom orphanage in Guatemala. He has not been able to care for her in the past and her well-being is in question. She belongs to God.

You can read more about this situation on my daughter's blog. We are asking God to bring her back and to do whatever needs to be done in order to secure her future. Pray for the little ones in the world.

How would you like to be introduced like this on Sunday?

Easter updates, anyone?

Hey guys. I hope all of us had a successful and productive Easter season. It may be helpful and encouraging to report on how things went. I realize that the true test is yet to come - hopefully we can retain and assimilate some of the folks who visited with us. But this is also a great time to celebrate victories, evaluate our effectiveness and possibly learn from our mistakes.

So, how'd it go?
