Great Banquet #200 Brianna Gregory
My beloved friends,
Wow! That’s about all I can say. How can I put into words what the Lord has
done, does, and will continue to do through this community and ministry?
Being the lay director for Madisonville Women’s Great Banquet #200 (Spring
2024) was one of the most refining and rewarding honors of my life. I am so
thankful for those who attended, served, volunteered, and prayed for that specific
weekend. The enemy fought hard (as he always does) against the Body of
Christ; but the Lord prevailed (as He always does), and lives were changed
(including my own).
I am incredibly blessed to have been raised in the Madisonville Great Banquet
community since I was 14-years-old after attending YES #99. And to have served
as lay director for such an amazing milestone in Great Banquet history? Holy
moly! 200 weekends?! I praise God for His continued mercy and grace!
Some of my dearest friendships were forged in this community, and I love every
one of you so dearly. Thank you for being my village and for your work in
advancing God’s Kingdom.
Love in Christ,
Brianna Gregory
