Phil our new marketing manager at work did an AWESOME presentation today at Centre fellowship .. here is his summery ..
I sent a very basic e-mail out to everyone associated with Wycliffe that I could get hold of. In it I asked some very basic questions,
Your name?
Where are you right now?
What has been your biggest achievement of yesterday or today?
What do you hope to accomplish today or tomorrow?
What is the best bit of your job?
What time is it now?
Discounting the automated ‘out of office’ replies, I’ve received 79 replies to date. I compiled a list of the replies to, ‘What do you hope to accomplish today or tomorrow?’, for our Centre Fellowship this morning and asked people to pray because this is what is happening in peoples’ lives today. Responses included…

That’s all going on today, and loads more. This is why I think this is such a cool place to work, everyone playing their own part in a different way. I wonder what tomorrow will bring?
