Many Thanks!

Thank you to all who continued to stay connected via this blog and twitter.  We were gone from Monday to late Thursday night.  Had a great week of learning and fellowship with mentors, coaches and members of the NEXT Initiative network.  Thanks to Ron Sylvia for driving through the Next Level Leadership network in spite of a brain tumor (some people will do anything for attention).  Thanks to Ron, Teddi and Luke for their friendship and hospitality! The Springs in Ocala is the mother-ship for Crossroads and there is no doubt we would not be doing what we are doing, the way we're doing it, as well as we're doing it (and I don't mean me and Leslie - I mean ALL of us at Crossroads) if it wasn't for Ron and Hal Mayer and Jan Greggo and those who have supported The Springs and their commitment to church planting.

Thanks to Danny Schaffner and his team at Common Ground in Tampa.  What a great church with a great facility and a God-vision for inner-city ministry.  It's a privilege to know and work with you!

Thanks to Hal and Sandy Mayer for their tremendous hospitality having us in their home in Tampa.  It was great to finally meet the staff at Church at the Bay.  Looking forward to having Hal IV and the CATB youth group up here the week before Easter.

Roadies, we are truly blessed to have such committed and influential people speaking into our lives and ministry.  I am awed by what God is doing in Enterprise and all those who work so hard at NEXT need to know that they share abundantly in the kingdom harvest at Crossroads.

Looking forward to tomorrow morning as we kick off a new 6-part series called GOD LOVES U2.  Invite big and share with others what God has given us.  It's a privilege to serve and worship with you all!
