Keynote Speech

Flying without Wings

Profound, happy, successful, peaceful, powerful, purposeful living should be a common goal for all. The song by Westlife ‘Flying without wings’ aptly describes this state of living profoundly. The sixth verse says ‘Cause who’s to know which one you let go, would have made you COMPLETE’. One way of living a peaceful powerful and purposeful life is by loving, serving and blessing another sacrificially. 

Unless a seed falls to the ground and ‘dies’, it remains a single seed but when it dies it produces many seeds.
