2006-History Making Year at NorthWood

1. Began construction of our new Worship Center--21 years in the making!
2. Our Team (small group) Ministry grew by 50%.
3. Key leaders from around the country gathered to commit to plant churches.
4. Record numbers of people involved in Haltom City, Puebla, Mexico, and Hanoi, Vietnam in multiple projects.
5. Record giving to missions.
6. Record number of Youth and Children baptisms.
7. Because of NorthWood’s involvement in Vietnam, I was privileged to be a part of the historic talks for religious freedom in Vietnam and our NGO, Glocal Ventures, was placed in the MOU to be a model for how churches engage society.
8. On a personal note, our son graduated from NYU, got engaged, and our daughter left for Baylor. My first book came out, finished my second one, and am now writing my third, with a fourth to follow. God help me!!!!
9. On a sad note Bob and Jo Arthur, who helped us start our church, both passed away this year within months of each other.

Probably missing a lot. This is just some. Feel free to add to cool stuff!
