Top 7 Reasons Not To Miss Celebration Midwest 2010
7. Terry & Wendy Virgo
Since Terry founded Newfrontiers, he has lead our movement faithfully and humbly into the unknown, trusting that God would always be with us. And He has been! As Newfrontiers continues to grow worldwide, Terry’s schedule has become increasingly demanding and so he has announced that this year will be his last year attending CMW. Although we’ll miss having Terry and Wendy with us, it’s exciting to see how far God has brought us!
6. Your Kids
Looking back to when I was a kid, CMW had a huge impact on my life! The friendships I built have lasted into my adult life and I’m fortunate enough to say that I am still pursuing the call of God in my life with some of those childhood friends right alongside me. God knits hearts together within our family of churches and it often begins with our kids. It was also in a CMW kid’s worship meeting when I first heard God speak to me. I remember it vividly and it changed the course of my eight year old life! Our kids are hearing from God during these times together. Let’s encourage them!
5. Your Teens
You have not seen uninhibited worship until you’ve seen a CMW Oneblaze meeting! Our young people are passionate about Jesus and it’s contagious. Your teenager is looking for missional purpose in their life. They won’t find it at school or on a sports team – they find it in Jesus, through the mission of the church. Gather 200+ of them into a crowded room with some loud speakers and get ready…they’ll teach you a thing or two about passion!
4. Togetherness
Only at CMW can you meet someone from Fayetteville or Chicago and feel like you’ve known them your whole life! To be on mission together is more than just a creed – it’s hearts being molded together for His purposes. By coming together to celebrate who God is, and where He’s called us to go, the Holy Spirit really opens up a feeling of togetherness, which in turn, spurs us on all the more!
3. Worship
One of my favorite things about CMW is the time we spend together in worship. The Holy Spirit faithfully meets us as we devote our attention to Him together. It’s a refreshing time. It’s a passionate time. God really does inhabit the praise we bring with the full spectrum of His presence. Come enjoy it!
2. Apostolic Teaching
There are far reaching benefits when we open our lives to receive apostolic teaching. The mission we are on isn’t easy. We need each other and we need spiritual fathers who can help us realize vision. Often, we forget what God’s already done for us and what He’s asked us to do. Come and remember what God has called us to be. Let’s spur each other on into that calling and work it out together!
1. God Speaks
Our God is more faithful than we could ever be. CMW or not, He is faithful to speak to us and prove that He’s running the race ahead of us. Even just a few years ago, before he became one of our campus pastors in Maryville, Parker Marks was given a prophetic word during a CMW meeting and was completely healed of a rare and serious form of dyslexia. After a life-long battle with the condition, Parker was healed in an instant, reading complete words, sentences and paragraphs without interruption! That particular year, Parker had decided not to walk with his graduating class in order to attend CMW – and I think it’s safe to say that was one decision he’ll never regret!
God wants to meet with us. He wants to heal us spiritually, emotionally and physically. He wants to pour out more grace on our lives and wants us to just enjoy being His. Let’s enjoy it together!
