Ethan enjoys Texas Outreach

My time in Galveston, Texas at the Vineyard National Conference was so awesome. Just being able to hang out with all of the pastors and see them come together and just concentrate on their lives, not having to worry about anyone else, was amazing. With all of the things that SOBA got to do in Texas, my favorite had to be the big local outreach that we helped out with. I got to see all of the pastors come together and really serve the people who were affected by the huge hurricane last year. It was so amazing to see what true servant-leadership looks like because everyone that i talked to really wanted to be there, giving back to these people and helping them out in any way that they could. God really showed me what being a true leader was all about. The pastors there not only were serving others, but they were being vulnerable when they would come up for prayer. Even thought the trip down there and the way back was long and cramped, i wouldn't change that ride for a second because it really brought all of us closer together and God was working right from the start. I thank God that we got a chance to go there because it was truly amazing and also i got to swim in the ocean --so that was a big plus haha. -Ethan James Bennett
