“A bunch of weirdos.” That’s how one of the 150-some leaders described the group which met together last month in Colorado Springs, Colorado. We might think it an unattractive word, but “weird” is formally defined as describing the “supernatural” or “unearthly.” So perhaps it’s an apt term for people from 68 organizations and 19 countries who came together around an otherworldly vision that requires miraculous means to fulfill. The “weird” on display at the Forum is the tangible example of the values and priorities that flow through GACX.- Busy people who pause and welcome the exhortation by Jimmy Seibert to examine first the centrality of Jesus in our individual lives and then our world.
- Visionary leaders who lay aside organizational identities and strategies to pursue a larger vision, responding to Steve Smith’s call to continually examine our thinking in light of Scripture.
- Networking discussions which built on communal worship God in order to facilitate partnerships intentionally infused with prayer.
