Hello GLC,
This is Pastor Chris Hall from Fairview Church in Englewood, Ohio writing this.

We are working at Fairview to put together a celebration for Pastor Mark and Jenny Ballard who will be venturing in to the next chapter in their ministry this summer. I'm working on a project to put together a video tribute for Mark and Jenny both. This will also serve as a great opportunity for anyone who would like to send them a video message but won't be able to make it to the celebration on June 28th.

I have created a folder on Google Drive in to which you are invited to upload a video. If you have a message for them that you can't keep to a minute or less, please feel free to upload two videos: one that is short and one that is everything you'd like to say. I'll end up using both videos in two separate projects.

Also, if you have past pictures of you with the Ballards or just them on their own, please feel free to upload those as well.

Also, if you would like to send a written message to be included in a book we are working on, please feel free to send a file of your written message along with a picture to the drive.

I would like to have all of these in place by mid-May. If you have any questions, please email me at [email protected].

PS We are trying to keep this a surprise. Mark and Jenny aren't on Facebook so no leaking the secret of this post.

Join us on September 9th at The Exchange for an evening with Pastor Zach Spidel! He has an amazing story to share about his ministry at East Dayton Fellowship. Click below for a description of the evening, and all the "who, what, where, why, and when" details for an event that I guarantee will be a beautiful balance of the inspiration and realism of the ministry to which we are called.

The Exchange exists to provide a forum for GLC collaboration surrounding the topics of Missional Vibrancy and Financial Viability.
