⑥Through this process, time and time again, I am reminded of how weak and needy I am. At the same time, it has made me think about what it looks like to seek God in every situation even when it seems hard to do so.
⑦EC is such a special place where strangers become best friends and selfish hearts can be changed to care for others. Every year, what God does at ec is just amazing! Together, let’s spend the last of 2019 in the best way possible by being expectant of the One who gives lavishly to those who seek Him. |
