church:
And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way…
His intent was that now, through the church, the manifold wisdom of God should be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly realms, according to his eternal purpose which he accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.

I’ve just returned to my room from the first session of the 2008 Innovate Church Conference with a renewed appreciation for what God is doing in His Kingdom. The ministries entrusted to Jonathan Falwell and Rick Warren have the hand of God upon them, and for this, I praise Him! I am committed to praying for these men-my brothers-in the days ahead for I’ve truly been inspired through my time in God’s presence tonight. I’m prayerfully anticipating the same tomorrow…for God is faithful.

I happened onto this conference while bringing my daughter to LU. WOW! I heard Rick Warren and Chuck Colson. I’ll be inspired by Jim Cymbala and others as they speak and The Lord speaks to me. I can just immagine the encouragement gained by church leaders from the breakout sessions. My pastor is amazing, and I’m sure he could use the encouragement of this conference. I can’t wait to get home to share my excitement.

excited church member at 1st Baptist Church, Pasadena Texas (We love you Pastor Redmond)
I am a 24-year-old Senior Pastor of a congregation with 80-90 on a Sunday morning. Although God is blessing my congregation, I have often felt insecure and worthless regarding my role in this ministry. I needed this conference to encourage me to continue and remember that it is God who does the work. I pray that my church and community is ready for the work of the Lord that we are going to see in the future in Indiana!!!!
