Thoughts of not going to General Assembly for the first time in over 20 years seem strange. Always Loved Mission night and the days before teen talent was moved the Youth choir at youth night was amazing. Because I’m originally from Kentucky, was a youth pastor in Georgia, Missionary in Germany and Pastored in 2 states my favorite part of GA was running into old friends. For me Relationships are the most valuable. GA always offered a chance to reconnect. I was always against the 4 year assembly, because I believed the strength of the denomination was as much relationships as anything. The feeling of Family was what made General Assembly special
