Thank you.

Okay, we church, hey, Levi Lusco here and it is such a privilege and a pleasure to be

with you as a part of the first conference.

What an incredible thing. Happy New Year. I got some

staff here with me to help me. Come on, Happy New Year. Gateway Church, we love you.

Like crazy. When I say that Pastor Robert and Debbie Morris have a special place in my heart

I mean that not only because of their legacy and impact in the way that their

writings and leadership and messages and their lives have made a difference to Jenny and I as we lead and as we seek to have our church be a part of that blessed life that Jesus promised to us and I'm just telling you

we've been encouraged we've been inspired but in these last days in

20 I would just say God really sustained us a lot through some encouragement from your

pastors and there's one specific moment early on in the midst of all the COVID

craziness and I also almost shot my eye out with the fireworks on the 4th of July last year.

True story.

But in just some dark times and some painful moments and some moments of confusion and

difficulty, God just specifically sent a word to us.

And it washed over our home like a flood.

I remember standing in my living room,

tears running at my face, and just praying

and just really being ministered to by your pastor.

So I just, more than anything, I have a word, I've got a message, believe me, I came

ready to preach at this conference as you start the year off, but I just wanted to say thank

you. Thank you for your ministry, your faithfulness,
