Our Global Impact Conference was a tremendous success.  The Commissioning service was very meaningful.  It was exciting to see those missionaries appointed to go to the ends of the earth.   Two of our own, Jody and Jordan Blanton were among those that were commissioned.  I had numerous people tell me that it was one of the most powerful services they had ever attended.
The missionaries that were with us for the entire conference did a great job communicating missions to our church family.  We heard some of the most moving testimonies that we have ever had.  Every person that was present could relate to the heart of these wonderful servants of the Lord.
At the same time that was taking place, we were having our “Imagine 06” conference.  Representatives from churches came from across the country to learn how to more effectively mobilize for mission involvement around the world.  We were given the opportunity to make an investment in all of those churches.  They are all seeking to take the next step in missions and many are moving toward adopting an unreached people group.

We had a large number of people respond to the call to missions and we are already starting the follow-up process.

I cannot say enough about the work of our people during these events.  I had so many comments on the spirit, commitment and openness of our church.  Your support made all the difference.  Your prayers, your faithfulness, and your ministry among these missionaries and church representatives were truly amazing.  I am so grateful and proud of your efforts.  The time and effort you gave will continue to have an impact through the lives of those you served.  Thank you for all that you do for the kingdom.
