Will You Dream With Me?

2/28/2013

Yesterday we hosted an incredible Vision Casting luncheon! The excitement in the space was palpable. Some of the most influential and compassionate folks in Buffalo came to share their time with us.  We are grateful for the dear champions of XCEL Leadership Center that were on hand to make sure no detail was missed. 

The Capital Partners of Kids With Cameras: Through Our Eyes project, The Arts Services Initiatives of WNY and M&T Charitable Foundation join us. They both presented us with generous contributions that turned our dream into a reality. 

The 'wins' are still being realized. Well after the tablecloths have been folded and put away and the last chair has been stacked...invitations to partner are still being extended (and accepted). Collaboration is beckoning us; it demands that we envision success for each of us, at the same time. 

Success, Together. That is what Christian Community Development  dreams are made of. Bringing The Kingdom up there, down here. Shalom; nothing missing and nothing broken. 

The day's mission has been accomplished: Cast the vision, make it plain. We allowed our community to imagine a success that we could all work towards. Thank you to each and every guest that shared their time and treasure. Trust me when I tell you...great opportunities for success are on the way! Get Ready, Buffalo!

The "estate" of Giving

Sunday night I read the obituary of the beloved of a dear partner in service. My sadness for her loss was met with an immense hope, joy and then a settled gratefulness. In the midst of planning her farwell celebration of her husband, this dear, grieving widow remembered XCEL.

Days later, I am no less stunned by her graciousness, but I am even more determined to honor and cherish every supporter and partner that has joined in the vision to see Thy Kingdom Come, Thy Will Be Done.

Kids With Cameras: a new view of beauty

On the eve of a project that was 4 years in the making, I'm nervous as if were the first day if school.

Will anyone show up? Will they hate the cameras? Will anyone have an allergic reaction to the pizza? Will there be snow storm? (Phoenix, friends what you saw in Tuscon is not considered a storm in the Queen City).

Thank you Buffalo art community! You have proven the naysayers wrong again. What we lack in Stanley Cups, Bowl Rings and a bustling down-town... We make up in fortitude, wings and art!

    ACCELERATED-  Increased  rate of speed at which a person follows God.  We aim to promote and support the 'Following Hard' after God instead of fan-ship. We want to reduce the speed at which every man, woman and child experiences isolation from God's great love for each of us.
