Hi Church,

Greetings in the wonderful name of Jesus!

I am back!!! It is just so good to be back. Actually not quite… hahaha… I am actually writing this week’s Pastor Writes on the plane but because they allow wireless internet during our flight, I am able to write this and send it back to our office at the same time. How cool is that! This is really ‘not-even-the-sky-is-the-limit’.

First and foremost, I want to say a big thank you for your love and understanding for allowing my family and I to be away for so long. I also want to thank Keith and David for holding the fort while I was away. They have done an amazing job! Amen! This trip away is very important for me because it gives me time to think through our vision and strategies for the coming year and come out with new plans as to how we can continually grow and take our church to the next level. Apart from that, my wife too had a great time, being able to catch a musical at Broadway. This has allowed her to dream bigger and do better productions for us in the coming year. Well, to sum it all up, we have been greatly refreshed. I am sure 2010 is going to be bigger and better!

But before we get there, let’s first work on making this year’s Emerge the best ever! I know the competitions and atmosphere has been overwhelmingly amazing so far! Abel and his team has been doing a great job organizing and putting everything together. I want to encourage all of you to join as many competitions as possible. Explore yourself. Do things that you have never done before. Be involved. Participate. And during the conference, bring as many friends as possible to experience the tangible presence of God and the creativity that He has put within us. Church, Emerge is a time for us to go all out and discover the creative side of us. It is also a time for us to engage the world and show them the glory of God through our gifts and talents. So, let’s not just give a 50% commitment. Let’s not even give a 99% commitment. Let’s go all out and give our 110% to God! Let us rise up and transform our generation for the LORD!

I am excited!
