Hello Friends,

As the summer is coming to a close, I hope that you all had a wonderful time (but let’s be honest, the summer never really ends in FL…lol). Please allow me to introduce myself to you…my name is Aaron Beeler and I am the Event Director for the Tampa Acquire the Fire. To the many of you that I have met from last year, I am excited to serve you again, and to the many that I will meet this year, it will be my pleasure to serve you, pray for you, and love on you as we get closer to the event in April. My team and I really are here for you!

What did the summer hold for you? Maybe you went to the beach, to Disney World, or on a Missions Trip, but whatever the summer held for you, I hope that you were refreshed and rejuvenated. My summer was full of fun times and hard work as I went on a two week Missions Trip to New York City with Global Expeditions. We had a great time working with Metro Ministries and the team in NYC. Let me know what you did…I look forward to reading about all the cool things.

As I end this post, let me share how excited that I am with this upcoming tour. We have an event that is quite different looking than previous years. In my opinion, we are keeping some of your favorite things like awesome worship, drama, and speakers, but we are adding in some key new features that you need to stay tuned as I update in the weeks to come. Again, I look forward to serving you all, and please feel free to call me at the office or email me. God’s best for you!
