What an amazing week we have had!! Buck and I just got back from the ARC conference in Birmingham, where we got to hang out with about 1000 other people who have a vision of changing the world for Christ! The key note speaker was Brian Houston from HillSong Church in Australia. We had an opportunity to hang out with some great friends and make new ones along the way. We are so fired up we can't even stand it. Then we got home Wednesday night and got to spend all of Thursday with Pastor Mark Stermer from HPC--he got a taste of El Paso and gave us an encouraging word for the work we are starting here... He even left with a little of El Paso on his feet--the brother bought some awesome snake skin leather boots to take back to the swamps!! Here are some pictures of the ARC conference...
