As Summer turns to Fall, I’m encouraged by the growth we have seen as a Fellowship in 2017. This year, we have welcomed many new ministers, organizations, and churches to our ranks. We have launched the Children of Prisoners missions initiative to care for the some of the neediest young people in the world. And we also saw our regional gatherings raise the bar in excellence and hunger for God.
This year’s regional conferences were a blessing beyond measure. The vice presidents and their teams poured their energy, creativity, and heart into these events. And we all got to receive the blessing as a result.
I want to give a special shout out to the men and women who surrounded our vice presidents to make the regional conferences possible. The administrators, event planners, travel coordinators, worship leaders, hospitality volunteers, facilitators, and audio/video technicians served their hearts out to enable the ministry to move forward. Believe me – nothing that happens on the platform gets done without the support of the people behind the scenes! We are all grateful for your gifts.
This season of greater expectations has me excited for our next international gathering in July of 2018. We are believing that God is on the verge of doing a great new work in our fellowship, and we are leaning into His Spirit in expectation!
Please, partner with me in holding up our fellowship in prayer this month. Be interceding for our entire team as we seek God for the future of The Fellowship Network.
Be sure to mark your calendar for July 4-6 in Scottsdale, AZ. And begin now to make your plans to be with us for our annual conference. I promise it will be worth your time to come!
In Christ,
Steve Holder
