Hi everyone,

I just want to extend a massive thank you to everybody in the Pulse stream at Celebrate 2010 and tell you all what an amazing week I had. When I arrived in Ilfracombe last Thursday I had absolutely no idea what to expect as I had never been to anything like Celebrate before, but once Monday came around and we all were introduced to each other, I knew it eas going to be a fantastic week!

I thoroughly, thoroughly enjoyed everything in the stream from the CeleBRITs music videos, to the fashion shows, to all the music, and experiencing all the wonderful gifts and talents that you all have.

I want to let you know just how much I enjoyed being part of the Fiver Challenge.. it’s not something that happens every year at Celebrate so to be involved with that is a real blessing. A massive well done to everybody for contributing to the massive amount!! Having experienced to types of projects that money will go to, and visiting many people and communities whose lives will be changed as a result of your creative ideas, bounding enthusiasm and strong dedication, I feel so inspired by everything that happened this week. When I spent my month in Liberia, I was truly affected by the real lives I was given an insight to, and I was so overwhelmed by each and every one of you who stepped up to the challenge. So a big congratulations for that!!

I also want to say a big thank you for all your friendliness! Everybody in the stream was so kind and never failed to say a cheery Good Morning even though everybody was knackered! It really helped get through the week, so thank you!

A big, big shout out to Christ’s Cartoons.. I adored having each and every one of you in Joy and I’s small group, and it was so much fun and such a joy to lead you. I’ll take away a lot of fond memories from this week, especially remembering our High School Musical video!!

Finally, I hope you can all step up to the challenge of Witness. You’ve all been given great gifts, and I believe in you to go out there and be a speaker of truth to all mankind. Change the world people of the Pulse!

Thanks again for such a wonderful week, and I hope I can see some of you again in the future, perhaps Celebrate 2012?

God Bless, Michael.
