LEVEL UP
YOU HAVE ONE LIFE, MAKE IT COUNT
WE HAVE ONE LIFE AND GOD WANTS IT TO COUNT. WE’VE WISELY USED THE LAST 20 YEARS FULFILLING EACH LEVEL OF THE WIDER VISION AS GOD ELEVATED US FOR THE GLOBAL STAGE. “CARMEL” MEANS A PLACE OF FRUITFULNESS AND ITS THAT FRUIT THAT NEEDS TO BE SHARED ACROSS THE WORLD. TODAY AS WE SHARE THE VISION FOR 2016, ITS TIME TO FOR EVERY ONE OF US TO RE-EVALUATE HOW CAN ‘UP OUR GAME’…
DEFINING ELEVATE IN OUR CONTEXT ELEVATE MEANS: “TO MOVE OR RAISE TO A HIGHER PLACE OR POSITION; LIFT UP AND TO RAISE TO A HIGHER SPIRITUAL LEVEL: ”
UNDERSTANDING THE MANDATE TO ELEVATE • INCREASED CAPACITY LAST YEAR LEAD TO THE ABILTY TO ELEVATE IN 2016. • ELEVATE IS NOT SIMPLY GOING HIGHER. • ELEVATE IS THE CULMINATION OF TWENTY YEARS OF OBEDIENCE.
