Here are some words that can describe our annual Mighty Men of Valor Conference in Ontario, CA. Dynamic, inspirational, forward thinking, change. You can sense that the ministry of Victory Outreach International has made an aggressive step towards the future. The best is truly yet to come. I was uniquely honored to speak to the pastors and ministers on Tuesday morning. Here are a few quotes that I believe will describe the conference.
“It’s time to ELEVATE our vision.” -Pastor Sonny Arguinzoni
“God is saying, ‘I will not pour fresh power & fresh anointing into old attitudes and old thinking.’” – Pastor Tom Vasquez
“We don’t need burning bushes, we need bushes that won’t be consumed by the fire.” -Pastor Nick Walker
“Abraham settled in Haran on his way to the promise. Haran: A land of hesitation.” -Pastor Joe Cotinola
“I am concerned for my grandchildren.” -Pastor Andy Valdez
“We all have weakness. I can’t have In & Out Burger. When the Lakers won…I had In & Out.”-Pastor Tom Vasquez
“People who don’t understand their inheritance, don’t expect nothing.” -Pastor Dan Tinch
“God is not surprised by the world and the condition it is in.” -Pastor Mitchell Peterson
“God cannot breakthrough without us & we cannot breakthrough without God.” -Pastor Rick Alanis
“The mark of a successful man is one who can build with the bricks thrown at him.” -Pastor Andy Valdez
“I was finally getting to understand YouTube, then it was Facebook, now it is Twitter.” -Pastor Mitchell Peterson

I think that quote by Pastor Tom was heavy because I had never looked at that scripture like that, but it is so true our minds have to stay new in order for God’s anointing to continue to flow

So much to say. This blogged actually inspired me before it was even written. In front of the lobby of the Doubletree hotel I was already wondering what you were going to write. So tomorrow, I’ll be posting my reflection on the MMOV too! Great conference and great blog!
