As we write this update, the words of Paul in Romans 1:8-12 come to mind,
First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you because the news of your faith is being reported in all the world. God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in telling the good news about his Son—that I constantly mention you, always asking in my prayers that if it is somehow in God’s will, I may now at last succeed in coming to you. For I want very much to see you, so that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to strengthen you, that is, to be mutually encouraged by each other’s faith, both yours and mine.
We share often with others the dedication that you have to the Lord and we long to be with you to encourage one another in the faith.

Will the Coronavirus impact Summit?
We are aware of the “elephant in the room”, the question that everyone is asking. Will the Coronavirus impact Summit? That is not a question that we can answer with certainty at this time since much of the decision is out of our control. For those who have to make the call whether to hold Awana based on the forecast of inclement weather, you understand the prayer and information gathering that goes into such decisions.
This week in the Dallas area, the Assemblies of God are holding their annual AG Kidmin Conference with people attending from all over the country. Events are still taking place in the Dallas area, regional Journey events are taking place across the country and it is our plan to hold Summit as scheduled. The only impact will be if federal, state, or local governments put restrictions in place that prohibit the event, or if the local venue hosts make decisions that would impact the event.
As is always recommended during flu season, and throughout the year, we will be emphasizing that people wash their hands on a regular basis. There have been many videos produced over the years , many by hospitals, to help remind people to wash their hands properly. Here are a few of them to help remind you to wash your hands…
… and now it is your turn. We want to encourage you to make a video about washing hands properly for 20 seconds or longer as recommended by health professionals. Be creative, sing a song that lasts 20 seconds or more as you properly wash your hands, be creative and make it fun; then post it in the Summit-Journey Facebook group, or post it on YouTube and send the link – or send the file itself – to socialmedia@summit-journey.org. We will select one video which will win a $20 gift certificate to the Summit Store. Deadline for submissions is Friday, March 20th.
Summit Social Media SUV
The Summit Social Media SUV is getting the oil changed and a safety check as it prepares for the road trip to Summit. The route is being planned with stops and trivia along the way. Do you have any suggestions for places where the Summit Social Media SUV might make a stop as they travel through Tennessee on I40, then down I30 into Texas?
We are looking forward to seeing everyone in Dallas in a few short weeks!
