This weekend, I felt the missionary bug as Bob Kyser, Mike Slupinski, Deb Crowley, Barb Borkowski and I all talked about the future of Detroit Hope as a congregation. We talked about how we could apply for grants from World Church, share some designated giving from the Mission Center, and have some new ministries begin here. All thanks to the new ideas flowing out of this meeting we had friday. Then, just when I was on fire, we had a great missionary team weekend in Howell at this nature retreat center. It was very awesome. I was so excited throughout I could not contain myself. I was too excited. Now that the weekend is over, I am trying to find a way to implament every idea that is flowing into my head. I believe the spirit has given me the gift of inspiration after this event. Hopefully Detroit Hope will feel the blessings that bear fruit from these thoughts.
