After going AWOL on my blog for the months of July and August and arguably most of the year -- I have started to re-engage in September. What I missed most about blogging is having that outlet to express what was going on in my life -- even if for only the benefit of myself being able to process my thoughts.
Exactly one month ago today our church hosted a two-day world class leadership training event The Global Leadership Summit (GLS). We are one of over 200 sights across North America that hosted this event with over 60,000 in total attendance. We have been serving as the host site for the past seven years and I am incredibly grateful to be able to be apart of the team that puts the event on -- which is primarily by volunteers who take vacation time for three days (this includes an event prep day) to serve local church participants in the area.
Under the leadership of our on-site event mananger (OEM) Alex Layson to say our team does an unbelievable job hosting event would be an understatement. We never do any recruiting of team members, most recommit for the next year at the end of the current year's GLS. And we have also managed to decrease the actual amount of volunteers needed to pull off the event so more of them experience the GLS as participants and at the same time not compromise our excellence in serving.
So I know this is a month late, I hope the notion better late than never applies here, so as the lead pastor for the GLS Site 044 I owe you a heart-felt thank you -- I truly do hold you in the highest regards!
