Greetings, family. I greet all of you in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. It was a great joy to see so many of you at Converge Together that we had in June. As our chairman of the board, Pastor Darryn Scheske reminded us, this ministry is not solely on your shoulders, it’s on God’s shoulders.

In Converge Together, we were reminded that we are one united and diverse body of Christ. And God uses us to accomplish His missions and to touch and get people saved in the name of the Lord Jesus. Over the next year, you’ll be hearing from the leaders of Converge’s 10 regions. Each region does things a little differently and that’s a part of the beauty of our movement, but we are all working for the same mission and the same direction and the same goal.

The job of the region is to help you connect with other pastors, other church planners to help you accomplish the things that God wants you to accomplish, to support you, give you ideas, refresh you, encourage you, inspire you. I want to encourage you to just get connected with your region. I believe you getting connected will bring you in contact with people who can help you become and do the things that God has called you to do. My hope is that these messages that you will be hearing from the regional presidents will help you connect with a face and with others in your region. And I hope that hearing about what other regions are doing will be able to inspire you and give you some fresh ideas.

May our God bless you, strengthen you, and use you for the advancement of His kingdom. Converge is here to help you be all that God wants you to be. God bless you.
