The Resurrection Center Looks Back at 2014

Each year, I take a look back at the events of the past year.   This report is filed and made public at Noon on December 31, 2014. ~ David Ewen

Introduction	As lengthy as this list of accomplishments are, something may still not be noted here as a success.  The omission is in error as every effort to recognize group and individual success has been made.
Wednesday, January 01, 2014	Acknowledge a lot of behind the scenes work & commitment from Leaders, Pastors, and Apostles that no one sees except for God.  Much appreciation go to those unseen & unrecognized efforts that helped the Resurrection Center go through another year with success.  Blessings to everyone who contributed to those unnoticed behind the scenes efforts to make the service of the Resurrection Center look like routine.
