A huge thank you to several people…(or GROUPS of people)...
#1 - Those who attended Unleash!
I was BLOWN away that we had right at 900 people here at NewSpring…and the energy level was through the roof. The last 10 minutes of the last session was INCREDIBLE…one of THE most awesome things I have EVER experienced in ministry—EVER!!! We will be doing this again next year!!! We were honored that you attended!!!
#2 - Our volunteers
You guys & gals ROCK! Seriously, NewSpring could not function without you. Every pastor and church leader I spoke to today were ALL blown away by how awesome your attitude was & how you served with eagerness. I can’t say “thank you” enough for today and EVERY Sunday! I love serving with you!
#3 - Our staff
I LOVE YOU GUYS!!! There is NO ONE in this world I would rather be doing ministry with! God has brought us so far…and there is so much to be done! He won’t let me forget the names on the walls…and I know you won’t forget them either. We’re going to reach them—every one of them—and so many more! Thanks for being willing to work with an idiot like me. :-)
#4 - Our critics
When I got home tonight I noticed some people already taking stabs at us on the net. Well…that’s awesome…I love you guys—seriously, because of you I feel MUCH closer to Jesus. AND—to be honest,
God uses you to inspire me to keep doing what I am doing—to reach more people—to see MORE people meet Jesus. SO…you can keep hating…keep putting down…but were not going away, we’re here for the long haul…and if the rapture takes place then please take care of things for us down here; in fact, take over our building—we won’t need it then! :-)
