It may have been a grey, rainy day outside when the GLS started but inside it was warm and exciting as we started with worship and then session after session of super insightful teaching and preaching via DVD from Willow Creek in Chicago.
This was a great couple of days. There was a real buzz and energy about the place as the delegates took on board the teaching and discussed how it might be applied in their lives. SBC hosted the event superbly – the GLS was a great success.
For a number of years Rich had pursued the possibility of SBC hosting such a high quality and prestigious conference. The events of 4 and 5 November were the fruition of this work. It will also hopefully be part of implementing his vision for using his undoubted leadership skills in supporting other churches and Christian organizations.
The whole event was made possible by wise and careful planning involving Helen, Rich, Iain, Bob, Tom and Steve. The amount of preparation time was considerable and, at times, the stress levels high. This was all in pursuit of excellence for the Kingdom of God and the great results were clear for all to see.
In addition around 50 SBC people volunteered to help at the conference – some even took leave from work to be involved. These people were superb and they ensured that the whole event was of the highest calibre. The bar has been lifted – again!
I want to express my sincere appreciation to all involved.
You were great – every one of you!
Paul Clark
Chair of SBC Leadership Team
