A Word from Our Pastor
OCTOBER 1, 2026
Dear Mighty Wind Worship Center Family,
We have officially entered the final quarter of 2026. Nine months are behind us, and only three remain—October, November, and December.
For some, this year has brought tremendous victories. For others, it has included unexpected challenges, disappointments, and delays. But regardless of what the first nine months have looked like, I want to remind you:
The year is not over yet.
There is still time to grow, heal, reconcile, become more disciplined, finish what you started, and obey what God has called you to do.
Sometimes we mentally leave a season before it is actually over. As the holidays approach and we begin thinking about 2027, I believe God is challenging us: Don't leave 2026 before 2026 is finished.
Paul declares in Philippians 3:14, “I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.”
Church family, this is not the season to coast. This is the season to press.
Take some time this month to revisit the commitments you made at the beginning of the year. What did you want to change? What did you want to accomplish? Where did you want to grow spiritually?
Maybe you aren't where you hoped you would be by now. Don't allow what you haven't accomplished to discourage you from what you can still accomplish.
As we enter these final three months, let's remain committed to prayer, God's Word, worship, serving, giving, community, and becoming spiritually and emotionally healthy disciples of Jesus Christ.
The goal isn't simply to arrive at December 31.
The goal is to arrive there different—stronger, wiser, healthier, more faithful, and more like Jesus.
Mighty Wind, let's make these final months count. There is still work to do, people to love, lives to impact, and assignments to complete.
We started this year together. Let's finish it together—and let's finish strong!
With love and expectation,
Pastor Derrick Watley
Senior Pastor
