Creation and Vision
In the late seventies, Tim Landis and Harry Thomas sat around a kitchen table and dreamed of a music festival. It was a vision from God and they moved forward in it and today that vision is the Creation Festival. Each year tens of thousands of people meet on a field in central PA to worship God and hear some of the best bands and speakers in the world. They have expanded to a second festival with a third one coming and a new festival in Morocco. Through this vision, thousands have been reached for Christ and thousands more lives have changed, including mine. The first thing I ever did in ministry was take a group of kids to the festival nine years ago (we've been there every year since). God used that experience in mighty ways. Today I am a writer for a national youth ministry resource and pastor (my church is called New Creation Fellowship), the roots of both of those ministries are traceable to the ministry of Creation Festival. Thanks Pastor Harry and Tim, may the Lord bless you for your faithfulness.
What vision is God laying on your heart? What would happen if you were faithful and carried it out? How many lives would be touched? What's holding you back?
For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. Ephesians 2:10
