My ORANGE Experience #1

The 1st thing I took away from this conference is that I am valuable in this ministry. Everything I do in the children ministry matters and that I am making a Kingdom difference. There was one guy in particular who cracked me up so much. His name is Lanny Donoho. He is so funny and he loves to dress up. He was Mr. Rogers, Batman, Andy Taylor, and a guy in a really out of fashion orange tux. Francis Chan speaks with so much passion and he really challenged me in different ways. He was talking about expecting the supernatural work of God – seeing work completed that was totally and completely only possible by God’s spirit, not by human engineering. It made me think about my faith and my relationship with God. I also loved Sue Miller's energy on stage. She is so sweet and when she speaks to volunteers, it is so evident the incredible passion she has for them. I got so many ideas from Jeffrey Reed, Donald Miller, and Sunny Williams. Orange Conference was so amazing and I thank God, FRC, Charlotte, and Nefertiti for giving me the opportunity to be a part of this amazing event. For me it was a life changing experience.

ORANGE CONFERENCE A BIG HIT!

WOW! What an incredible three days we had at ORANGE '08 in Atlanta, GA! From learning how to lead more effectively, to getting great ideas for enlisting, equipping and empowering volunteers, to personal priority challenges [learning to put first things first], to learning how to reach today's families while being "culturally transcendent", ORANGE '08 allowed us the opportunity to be stretched and challenged in such a good way! It was so good to spend time getting to better know the volunteers and staff to where able to go. We have been inspired in ways that are hard to put into words and are so grateful for the opportunity we had to hear from God through some incredible communicators of these last few days. THANKS FRC for making this incredible experience possible through resourcing our trip. Be sure to ask those pictured here about their trip! And stay tuned in here to read some of the blogs about their experience! See you all this weekend!
