It's almost 5.30pm, waiting for hubby to knock off work, so decided to blog.....it's been a while...
Went for our church's very first Maximum Impact Simulcast last saturday. It was awesome to sit under the teaching of world class leaders - ranging from John C Maxwell, Mark Sanborn, Bill Strickland etc etc ( I can't remember everybody's names!)
One speaker that struck a chord in my heart was Bill Strickland. You can check him out on

He didn't have much to start off with since he was a young boy, stricken by poverty and racial differences....But today, he has built facilities to help and train the poor & needy out there. Some of the quotes from Bill Strickland i will remember for life...
- When you build a world class facility, the people who walk into it will be world class citizens, even though they might have come from poverty stricken community.
- I train attitude.
- I am in the business of HOPE.
Amazing how God gives different inidividual vision, and clothe them with gifts & resources to change the community. Am just amazed by God's well crafted plans on this earth.
Looking forward to Friday!
