Fire Alarms, Going home--Ellie Neumann

Last nights deep peaceful slumber was rudely interrupted at 2:30 a.m. by the most piercing amazingly loud noise. It went on and on. Though truly alarming and causing mass awakenings and wanderings, turns out it was much ado about nothing and we all went back to sleep. Feel pretty much comatose this morning for the long trip back to Atlanta, but looking forward to seeing Jr. Neumanns and sleeping in my own comfy bed tonight.

Foreign Missions Service Saturday Evening

Awesome, awesome, awesome!!!Phenomenal Message by veteran missionary Bro. Steve Willoughby. He preached about the culture of Christ. He had some amusing stories to tell (as should all missionaries) about different cultures. Then he related how the culture of Christ transcends all the differences of race, economics, etc. The culture of Christ is a culture of prayer, a culture of soul winning, a culture of worship, and a culture of giving. Each point was backed up by examples and scriptures. The crowd was electrified the whole time as we were exhorted to pray big prayers and expect big things. At the end after the section on culture of giving he began to talk about the Lord telling him how to take up a ten million dollar offering. All we need is 1,000 people to give $10,000. People began stepping forward immediately to give their personal 10,000. The giving went on and on. I finally eased out of the arena into the lobby before it was all over. Maybe someone can give us an update later.

There are so many wonderful people in our organization and I love to be among them. May we take our inspiration home from this conference and see a mighty work at home, one soul at a time.

I would like to blog a little more when I get home after I have had time to process everything. However, we have just moved and I'm not sure when I'll be back on the web.

Hope everyone has found our humble offerings as live GC bloggers a little informative. Let me know if you have some questions about stuff we didn't cover.

Still to come (if I can get back on the web) is a most funny Pretzel Dog Story.
