We're going to do this because a hundred years from now the church needs to be powerful and

impossible to ignore. The church needs to be undeniable in our city of Los Angeles.

There are just too many people who come here

so gifted, so talented, so fragile.

And I'm telling you, Los Angeles needs what we have to offer.

And we need to let our city know, we're not going anywhere.

We're here to stay.

Come up!

So good.

So you probably know what the announcement is.

Hey, that's so good. I'm all goose bumpy.

I'm all goose bumpy.

Yeah. Let's pray. Father, thank you so much for this moment.

This moment that can open up the floodgates for a future, filled with life change.

And Jesus, we are here in this intersection of time, making a declaration that we are here to stay.

To be your voice, to be your hands and feet, to be

your declaration of love to the city and to the world.

And I pray Father that tonight,

each person in this room who identifies themselves with this tribe,

with this community, with this family, with this church,

which step up and make the declaration not only in word but in sacrifice. We thank you Father and we pray in Jesus

name.
