"Wow!" that is a word that is universal to all languages.... and it is a great word choice to describe all that took place today at the Global Vision Leaders Summit! Once again we started our day in the word with a devotional from pastor Michael Knight. His message was given from the book of Philippians chapter two where Paul is speaking to the church in Philippi to imitate the humility that Christ showed. He spoke with so much conviction and passion to challenge us to pour ourselves out for those we lead. Then he asked us to think about what we are saying when we declare that we want to be like Jesus. Pastor Michael said that to Imitate Christ is, "gaining power by restraining oneself for the benefit of others." I was challenged in my own heart when he asked us all, "how low will you go for the people you are over?" This devotion was powerful and moving and i was blessed to be in the room listening!

Later on in the afternoon, I got the privilege to hear what God has been doing in the different world zones of leaders present. It was amazing to hear how lives have been changed and how many leaders have been trained and how many churches had been planted in 2009. The Lord is doing great things! It was also exciting to hear what we are projecting for 2010 and all that God will do! After each leader shared about what the Lord did in 2009 and their plans for 2010, everyone gathered around and prayed for that region and leader. I was humbled and blessed that God has led me to take part in this mission, and have the opportunity to be on a team of such devoted and humble leaders who love serving Christ and others! I have a few pictures below! I pray that you are blessed by what you read and see today and in the days to come!
