Hello, BRN Family! It’s good to be with you today!

Wow! We are so thankful for how the Lord moved during our October 3 Accelerate Conference here in Harrisburg. Nearly 250 church leaders from across our two-state region had the opportunity to be challenged to help those they reach GROW through intentional discipleship and leadership development. Accordingly, this year’s theme was based on the third phase of #LovePASJ, which was “GROW: What is your next step?”

It was a powerful day! We heard from Jeff Christopherson on the “Necessity of Unlearning before Relearning” in order to live out Kingdom values in our churches. I challenged churches to take their next vital step to grow. Our breakout leaders examined the seven temptations of the Western church to expose the areas where churches can be tempted to be more like western culture than the Bible.

All these messages will be posted at acceleratepasj.com.

There are so many exciting details to share. I invite you to go to BRN United to read my whole address and to read our Accelerate Conference wrap-up article. Please let us know at the Help Desk if you have any questions. You can text or call (717) 652-5856 or email us at helpdesk@brnunited.org. Again, the number to text is (717) 652-5856.

Thanks for listening in today. May God bless you!
