We recently asked some folks to reflect and finish the sentence “I left the Ecclesia National Gathering this year feeling ___________.”
Here’s what they said!
I left the Ecclesia National Gathering this year feeling a lot of respect for some leaders who have endured through some hard seasons!
– Bob
Grateful to be in a community that has walked through and adjusted to a lot of challenging circumstances. It encourages me as a future church-planter that our leadership team will have so much collective wisdom and experience to lean on.
– Curtis
Encouraged by what God is doing through the church.
– Jon
Heard, seen and loved by God.
– Jim
I left encouraged for the future, thanks to the gracious support of my brothers and sisters in Ecclesia.
– Wendy
Feeling grateful the two awards our network gives out each year are for (1) Perseverance and (2) Servanthood (and not Fastest Growing Church or Most “Successful” Church).
I was reminded once again why I love our network so much.
-J.R.
Feeling overwhelmingly confirmed in our vocation, gratitude for the support and experiences of those in the network, and happy to have even more new friends!
– Robbie
Even more thankful to be in the network!
-Mandy
“On our five year anniversary we pause to give God thanks for all that he has done in us and through us. We’ve seen God work powerfully in our midst, and we believe that he will continue “to do more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us” (Ephesians 3:20). Listen in as we reflect on the past half-decade, tell stories of how we’ve experienced God’s grace and mercy, and eagerly anticipate what God has in store for us for the next five years and beyond.”
