Personally, I feel blessed to belong to a church with a heart to grow each disciple.  It is a privilege to undergo various training lessons, workshops, and seminars—all geared towards growing and developing the person not just spiritually but holistically.  
Last March 13 & 14, the Jesus Festival was held at the SM Aura, Metro Manila. The long trip was worth it. The sessions were full of fresh revelation, and the worship was thick with the presence of God.  As a believer, I feel more encouraged, equipped, and empowered with the new knowledge imparted by each speaker.  What struck me the most was that whatever you do, whether leading a ministry or serving behind the scenes, everything should be Jesus focused.  Nothing is ever about us.
