Transition in Leadership

As I sit tonight and reflect on the great day we had at the Blvd Campus as all 3 campuses joined together for a combined service, I am reminded of what it means to be a great leader. I saw it demonstrated today by Pastor Bo. I am amazed that any leader would be willing to step down from leading, so someone that worked for them can take the lead. I have had the privilege of working with a great leader for 8 years and have learned many lessons. Every lesson means more today as this transition becomes reality.  The character, wisdom, vision and humility that I witnessed on a daily basis has taught me much but also means I have to follow a great leader. There is only one thing I can do and that is pray a prayer that I mentioned in service this morning.

 
“God let me make a difference for you that is utterly disproportionate to who I am.”
 
Would you pray that for your life as well?

Chi Alpha House

The volunteers working on the Chi Alpha house are absolutely amazing! If you haven’t had a chance to see the transformation of that building you will get an opportunity soon. There will be an open house held at the house soon after the students are moved in and school is in session. The Chi Alpha ministry will be exponentially more effective this year because of this strategic facility. I can’t wait to hear about and see all the great things God does there this year. Pray for the ministry to Washburn students that will be taking place this year and thank God for the volunteers that made it all possible. All of our Topeka First Assembly campuses have teamed up and made this possible. We truly are one church and God is going to continue to use us as we work together to accomplish his plans.
