Hello Bros & Sis,
An Amazing thing happened to me today! (08/05/13) My Ethan Francis was born 12:25PM at 7.5lbs.
I said amazing because I witnessed a miracle! Holding Faye’s hand and hearing his cry for the first time brought tears to my eyes! I just Praised God for His wonderful gift!
Of course everybody knew that this miracle started with SFC, and to make it more specific at an SFC Conference in Palawan, Philippines.
I will take this opportunity to tell you something that I love about conferences, of course the worship, the talks and the brotherhood and sisterhood are all a good thing to look forward to but, more importantly the experience and privilege to attend a conference that I know would always be a lifetime memory! So guys, Make it AMAZING! Witness a miracle! Make the most out of this weekend.
For all of you that are delegates, enjoy God and make your memories count! I know the saying “What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas!” But let’s break that rule and shout to the world and the people around us “You need to know what happened in Vegas!”.
I warn you, a lot of distractions are around you! It will also be a test of your commitment to be witnesses. You will be free to roam around, come to think of it you could even escape and skip the talks and activities and go to the poker room or slot machine area, but ask yourself “Will that make this Vegas trip different, Will it make this weekend a milestone in my life?”
So again bothers and sisters, make the most out of this conference! When my Ethan Francis grows up someday I could always tell him that in one SFC Conference in Palawan my life changed.. I worshiped, I witnessed and I met your mom!
Also, There are rules that I know some of our Kuyas and Ates forwarded you already like gambling ,drinking, etc. (typical Vegas stuff). Be one with me in saying “Let’s do that on another Vegas trip”. This weekend, “exclusively” be a WITNESS to God’s power and proclaim that whatever that is going to happen in Vegas.. must remain in my life as the best VEGAS trip ever.
And, don’t forget to enjoy!!!! wish we could be there!
Godbless.
