last minute preparations
It's been an exhausting few weeks getting everything prepared for this weekend. Everyone has been diligent and we sat in our meeting this past tuesday tired, but ready to see what the Lord has in store for this weekend.
We've done all we can up to this point: 6 months of planning, praying, strategizing, connecting, laughing, yelling:), but we all feel proud with where we're at. It's been so encouraging to have such a strong network of partners literally throughout the world.
I read the other day, "Origin determines destiny. Therefore, the origin of a church will determine its destiny as well as its quality. Put another way, how a church is planted will determine its character, its effectiveness, and its future."
We've heeded the words of 1 Cor. 3 where it talks about nobody being able to lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Christ. We've built Eikon's foundation on Christ, and emphasized the values of acceptance, honesty, change, creativity and hope. We're hoping to be innovative, intelligent risk-takers, challengers of the process; but our goal will never push the method beyond the message of Christ. These are what we feel are essential to the life of a healthy, thriving, influential Church.
Pray for this weekend, that the Lord blesses those who walk into the doors of Eikon, and that we can relax, enjoy and be apart of what we've all come together to do.

It's already after the big event but appreciate what you said in this post. Eikon's foundation on Christ, and the values you cited are right on.
Bathed in prayer, motives right--Go God!!!
