This weekend was the first Anchored Conference hosted by the Constant Friend authors and Cross Church. It was a phenomenal experience - one in which I was both humbled and amazed at the mighty move of God that took place.
Over and over during the last two days, we were so blessed to hear words of overwhelming gratitude for the Constant Friend devotions and the powerful conference sessions. At this time, we would like to express our deep appreciation for the support of all who were in attendance.
In my ministry time, I spoke about the inception of Constant Friend, and everything that has transpired since then. In putting together my notes, I marveled that approximately 900 individuals have signed up to receive the Constant Friend emails or access it on Facebook.

In fact, Zechariah 4:10 provides the following encouragement - "Do not despise these small beginnings, for the Lord rejoices to see the work begin..." If Our Almighty God REJOICES in the small things we do .... just imagine His reaction when our efforts multiply exponentially?
Dear Lord, I am so grateful that You are a generous God - a God who is willing to reward the efforts of His children for responding to the needs of others. I thank You for being more concerned about the intent of the effort rather than the immensity of the effort. You are truly the ANCHOR FOR OUR SOULS.
I thank You, my Jesus, for dying for me. I believe that You are Lord and that God raised You from the grave so that I can have eternal
