Almighty Father,
You are so good. Thank you for all of your wonderful blessings. Thank you as well for the trials that you allow to enter into my life. I know that you are using them to grow me and to draw me closer to you. Your ways are far above my ways. I look forward to serving you each and every day. Guide me today I pray.
Amen
Within the past month or so illuminate has been in action! What is it exactly? I'll tell you. Illuminate is a group of people who are transitioning from going to church to being the church. We are banding together to spread God's unconditional love into the local communities. Each gathering consists of unhinged worship, prayer, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Everyone on staff is energized by the holy spirit and is ready to serve at any opportunity. Anyone is welcome to attend a gathering and worship along side of us in any way they choose to.
I am so excited to be involved in what God is doing in our area of the map. It is such a blessing to be furthering God's Kingdom in a tangible, practical way. Also, I am so blessed to have such a wonderful group of friends whom I consider family. They mean so much to me and I am honored to be in relationship with them. God has placed us all together for a specific reason and purpose. We are bringing Heaven to Earth and allowing the Holy Spirit to lead us where He wants us to go.
Right now we are in four locations throughout Lorain county and will be spreading and reaching out further beyond those walls soon here in 2012! By God's goodness, Sarrah (my beautiful wife) and I have the opportunity of leading the Avon location and coordinating the staff to make sure everything is rolling smoothly at each gathering. All of us are looking forward to where God is going to lead us in the near future. Thank you to everyone who is volunteering and putting so much time and effort into this vision. We are illuminating our cities, our states, and eventually the entire world!
All praise, honor, and glory be to God forever and ever. Amen.
