Pastor Steven Furtick

(And I’m expecting gifts)

On this day in history just 365 days ago, a tiny blog was born into the world.
www.stevenfurtick.com has since grown into a robust, 5 day a week, mildly entertaining, occasionally controversial and hopefully inspiring blog read by way more people from way more places than I ever would have imagined.

Happy Birthday to me… and you’re invited to the party.

Would you do me a huge favor please? Every week my assistant brings me a stack of emails written by folks both within our church and all over the world, telling us how the ministry of Elevation has been a blessing. It’s the highlight of my week. The only problem is, I feel like an encouragement hog… because only I get to see them.

So here’s the plan:

If God has blessed you through the ministry of Elevation in the smallest way (you read the blog or watch the sermons and you’re encouraged by what God’s doing in Charlotte) or the biggest way (you gave your life to Christ at Elevation) or in any way in between, take a few minutes out of your day and let me know.

Send us a short testimony by clicking this link.

It doesn’t have to be poetic, or long, although it can be. Many of you reading this will think: “Well, I’m sure he doesn’t want/need to hear from me”… you’ll either assume that I already know or that I don’t care. But you’re wrong.
Whether you’re a pastor, staff member, business man, stay at home mom, student… we want to hear it all.
At Elevation, we measure success by the stories we hear.
And no encouragement is insignificant.

After we’ve received all the emails, I’m going to print them out and share them in various formats with the wonderful staff and volunteers at Elevation.
I may even share a few of them here. (Anonymously, of course.)
Please participate! You’ll never know how much it means to me.
Again, here’s the link, or you can send an email directly to amen@elevationchurch.org.

It’s been a heck of a year… Thanks for being along for the ride.
