We are encouraged by how God is moving across the Midwest Central Region through salvations, baptisms, and renewed hunger for Jesus, especially among young people. Last summer, Jay challenged us to invest deeply in the next generation so the next fifty years of the Vineyard will be as fruitful as the first.

With that in mind, this year's Regional Gathering theme is Dear Future Church. We're asking God to help us faithfully steward the church of tomorrow by investing in people today. We long to see every generation flourish: children encountering Jesus, young people embracing their calling, adults growing as disciples, and seasoned saints passing on wisdom and encouragement. As we look ahead, we want to remain rooted in Jesus while embracing the fresh work He's doing among us.

Our anchor passage comes from 2 Thessalonians 2:13-17, reminding us to stand firm in the truth we've received while moving forward with hope, courage, and faith as we invest in the next generation.
