    Dear Brad,

    Imagine me jumping up and down. Now imagine me jumping up and down whilst cross-eyed. Now imagine me jumping up and down whilst cross-eyed and whilst frothing at the mouth. Now imagine me…okay this is getting out of hand.

    I want tickets!

    Sincerely,

    Kyle my first Catalyst Event was when Pastor Mike Adkins and his sweet wife Kelly made it possible to take the church leaders to Catalyst in a bus. God choose Mike and Kelly to start a church and God invited us along. I am fully convinced it was the Catalyst trip that made the growth of Grace Fellowship a unit at that point in time. We are now 3 services and …well it’s Gogracefellowship.com folks. God’s word in action. I would love to make the trip this year. With God’s help. Wendy Lundahl
