Praises to the Lord:

1. God really blessed the Pastor's Conference we held at GCF ealrier this month. There were more than 300 attendees! The pastors and ministry leaders who attended gave very positive feedback and in the evaluations all said they would attend again
   
2. Tyler had his first visit to the emergency room last week and was diagnosed with pnuemonia. But praise God that it his illness did not last long. His fever only lasted a day or two, and his asthma subsided within a few days.
