Orangify

I am currently here at the Orange Conference in Atlanta with John, Dan & Kristi. Let me just start by saying the conference is awesome. There is always so much you can pull away from a conference like this. I have run into friends from Liberty University and been able to catch up with what they are doing. Some of them I have not seen in eight to ten years. It is so funny when you recognize someone and then you both just stand there and stare at each other until one of you goes up to the other and says something like, “Didn’t we have like 4 classes together everyday for 4 years?” Thinking, please don’t hate me that I can recognize your face but can’t remember you name…but it’s all good.

Couple things I’ve noticed being here:

1. Dan and Kristi are one of the best at what they do. Easily they could be teaching these classes and challenging other churches to raise the bar higher. We are so blessed to have them at Fellowship. Make sure you let them know it!!! I am proud to have them as pastors to my boys.
2. The idea of Orange is to merge children’s and student ministry together into a family friendly, single focused ministry. Dan and Kristi have made huge strides to connect with me and connect with students. Only being here a year we have a great relationship with each other and have a huge respect for each other. Hearing about other churches and how those two ministries connect…our ministry is way ahead of the curve. We still have a long way to go, but GO GOD that we are headed in the right direction.

There will be more to come and I can’t wait to share with you some of the stuff I’ve gotten.
