Next Meeting: October 10 - Orlando Baptist Church

Dear Pastor,

We are honored to host the Pastor's Fellowship Meeting here at Orlando Baptist Church on October 10, 2011. "Step Out of the Boat" will be the exciting theme for our church going into this Fall season and the New Year. We will be sharing some of the things God is doing here and what we are doing for the days ahead. I am thinking it may encourage or inspire you for your days ahead in your church

ministry.

Here is what our day with you will look like. We want preaching that will encourage us in our calling as ministers, information and material that will help us to be more effective as preachers, a time of great fellowship and a desire to "Step Out of the Boat" in some area of our life and ministry.

Here's how you can help make this happen:
1.Come to the meeting. It will not be the same without you here. Please come and fellowship with us.

2.Bring a pastor who doesn't normally or often come to the meetings. We will make him feel welcomed and enjoy the fellowship with him.
3.Bring your wives and staff. We will have a special time for the wives and a very cool time for the youth pastors.

I am thrilled with the men who will speak to us on our day together.

You will not want to miss hearing these wonderful men of God. It is my prayer we will all leave refreshed, encouraged and ready to go home and lead our people as we "Step out of the Boat" together. Please email me and let me know you are coming.

Volume 7

"I'm a Pastor's Wife"

That little group of words has got to be at the top of my list - "words I thought I'd never say"! It humbles me to my core. Living life under this new name is teaching me lessons I wasn't expecting and I am so grateful for it. Just a few of the things God is teaching....

I can still be me!
Being real makes all the difference in the world.
It's not all about me!
Giving council keeps me on my knees.
Encouraging others to go deeper with God makes me take inventory in my life.
I am not perfect...

God doesn't expect me to be!
A smile and a hug go a long way.
Respect for my husband has grown immensely.
Praying for him is more important with each passing day.

Leading by word is easy...
Leading by action takes effort.
God is using my past to minister to others and it's beautiful.
I don't have to have all the answers, sometime I just need to stop and listen.

I pray that my heart would stay close to the Lord, that my humility would remain in tact, and that I would be sensitive to the moving of the Spirit with willing hands to serve when prompted. It is beautiful that God has brought us here and I desire to draw even nearer to Him through this new journey.
Lord, this is Your work and all that is accomplished here is to Your glory alone. I am humbled that you use me. Thank you for walking with me. I pray that my eyes would remain fixed on You, that I would not grow cold to the people around me, and that I would be found faithful to Your calling. It is only through Your strength any of that is possible. I love you!
