I am an American because my forefathers were not settlers; they were pilgrims. You might ask what separates a settler from a pilgrim. They can look, speak, and act the same, yet they differ in heart, mind, and soul. A settler is satisfied to stay where he is, convinced he has arrived at the place where he will live an d find his destiny. A pilgrim lives with a different outlook: he keeps moving forward, seeking greater purpose and opportunity in the places he has already visi

Pastors and church leaders traveled from different communities, leaving behind their daily responsibilities, to gather with one purpose: to be equipped, strengthened, and renewed in their calling.

Even if there were no crops. Even if there was no food. Even if everything he depended on was gone—He still chose to rejoice in the Lord.

God is 100% human.
