Spiritually supercharged after the first day of GIC

What a day!  I have spent the day at our church's Global Impact Celebration Prayer and Missions Conference.  This is a time when Asbury UMC in Madison, AL invites all of our missionary partners to come to Madison and speak at a variety of workshops on prayer and missions and they also invite at least two keynote speakers.  The morning started off for me listening to Thom Ewing and Karen Spain of WAY-FM/Huntsville share about the mission of this contemporary Christian music station as well as how they are connecting and acting as missionaries in today's world of social networking.  Then after lunch listened as Leonard Sweet a well known author and speaker talked about how the church needs to move into what he called today's TGIF world.  TGIF = Twitter, Google, IPhone/IPad, and Facebook.  He lectured about how this is no longer a world of words but a world of images and storytelling.  This was followed for me by listening to Marcos Wittig talk about intercessory prayer for missions and shared about his work in Medellin Columbia.  The day was topped off by Marilee Pierce Dunker who shared some about her father the founder of World Vision and his prayer to God to break his heart for the things that break God's heart.  She shared also about some things that today should break the church's heart as it breaks God's.  Tomorrow will bring even more and I know by the time the GIC ends on Sunday I will be spiritually supercharged for some time.  I will spend some Sunday in prayer to determine just what God wants me to do with what I've heard.
