A Busy New Year

Well, it's here, 2008 has come at last and for our team it looks to be yet another year filled with opportunities for greater impact in the Kingdom.  Each new year brings a fresh start to our lives, seemingly beginning with a "tabula rosa", or clean slate on which our lives are painted.  Our prayer is that you will see this new year the Lord has given as an opportunity to advance His Kingdom on this earth. 

We are gearing up for several events in the first quarter of the year.  Next week, our team travels to San Diego to hold a local training conference where we expect up to 300 small group leaders in attendance.  The third week of January, we travel south to sunny Phoenix to host a regional training conference at Scottsdale Bible Church.  In February, we trade in the sun and warmth of Southern California and Arizona for the snow and cold of Minnesota, as we train small group leaders on February 9th in Hastings, MN. 

Whatever your plans and dreams for this new year, we pray you will join us in putting all our hopes, dreams, opportunities and threats in the hands of the One who holds everything together in His master plan.  May we find ourselves and our plans lost in the plans of God, as He continues to fulfill His Kingdom on this earth.

Happy New Year!
