We are at the biennial General Council of the Assemblies of God in Orlando, Florida -- doing the business of the denomination. Thousands of pastors gather to hold services, worship, vote and network.
I love who we are -- Spirit-filled -- passionate -- intentional -- organized -- worldwide ---- it's so great to be part of this fellowship of believers and churches.
Today's highlights:
-- Christine Caine.
From the Australian A/G, she compelled us to stretch out of our comfort zones, take risks for God and not be afraid to embrace pain. 'The days of spectator Christianity are over.' She said this is the first time in church history in which three generations -- the wisdom of the elderly, the resources of her generation and the zeal of youth are willing to work together to influence society.
-- Ellen Blackwell, recipient of the Lifetime Influencer Award.
At 101 years old (she's older than the Assemblies of God by 6 months) -- she pastors Mount Zion Assembly of God in Charles Town, West Virginia. She spent her 100th birthday in Israel, where she founded the Fellowship House Retreat Center, a complex overlooking the Sea of Galilee that can host 40 people for prayer retreats. "Isn't it grand that the Lord didn't make a compulsory retirement at age 65?" she asked.
-- SOAR project.
A/G worship leaders across America have compiled a new album of 11 original songs called "SOAR." Several of the songs were premiered today during worship. (Journey Church's own homeboy, Vinnie Zarletti, has a song on the album.) SOAR can be purchased on iTunes and Amazon. Great stuff.
And be blessed.
