Faithwalking’s 10-year anniversary celebration was a great time and a true success, thanks to so many of you! It was wonderful to share an evening with so many from the Faithwalking community, face to face. About 120 people came, and 7 Circles were represented with 11 tables. The room looked beautiful, the food was really good, and the chef even put out wrapped cookie mementos for everyone to take home. Each of the cookies had some take on “10 years” written across it in icing – a fun touch! Gail Edmonson, member of the Faithwalking Executive Team welcome all those gathered and served as emcee. Each of our three staff leaders shared some 10 year-end thoughts with the group: Jim Herrington celebrated our past; Marcos Leon celebrated our present; and Ken Shuman cast vision for our future, reminding all those who were present the “why” of Faithwalking and the challenges of living in a regressive society. And at the end, Faithwalkers donated generously toward the work of transformation that we have before us in 2018 and onward.
We are so grateful to the many who contributed toward the banquet beforehand, those who came, and those who shared their resources at the end. If you were not able to make it, it is not too late to donate in honor of this anniversary! If you would like to do so, you can make a contribution via one of the options below.
We would also like to share two important handouts from Ken Shuman with you that were distributed during the banquet, one titled “Why Faithwalking?” and the other “Five Characteristics of a Regressive Society.”

Finally, we want to share with you a letter that Andy Sytsma sent to the Faithwalking team the day of the banquet. Andy and Jacie Sytsma pastor New Life Community Church in Spring and are the leaders of a Faithwalking Circle. Thanks, Andy!
Hi Jim, Ken, Marcos, Trisha, Jeff, Todd and Jerry, (cc: Jacie)
Greetings! I am sad that I won’t be able to attend the FW 10 Year Anniversary Dinner tonight due to a prior out of state trip I had in place several months ago. So I am writing to let you know how joyful I feel that we are celebrating 10 years of God’s faithfulness together.There are a few things I can point to as significant markers in my life, things that have shaped who I am and changed the course and texture of my life. My faith, my family, my experience growing up as a missionary kid, Jacie, having kids and being a pastor have all been formative. But going through FW and doing this in community with you and others is also one of those formative things.I remember in seminary latching on to the teachings of Neil Plantinga. He made the gospel come alive for me — both the rhythm of dying to yourself and rising with Christ (personal transformation) and the big broad vision of God restoring shalom (community transformation).These were great concepts but it wasn’t until FW that these took on both a very personal and experiential nature for me.I’ve had to both confront the ugliness of my negative vows but also feel the joy and freedom that come from knowing where these come from and gaining tools that helped me to live into the identity that was mine in Christ.I’ve also been broken over the profound lostless of people far from God and the deep brokenness that is all around us in our world. Yet, at the same time filled with hope as I see God on mission to bring wholeness in every area of life AND the amazing reality of being used by God to play my part in helping him do this.I could say a lot more, but needless to say, I am different, Jacie is different, our marriage is different, our church and our leaders are different, and by God’s grace, our community is different.So thank you. Thank you for your hard work, humility, steadfast leadership, authenticity, courage and love. I am deeply grateful and want to mark this milestone by celebrating with you.To God be the glory!!In Him,Andy

Can you be more specific about the content of your article? After reading it, I still have some doubts. Hope you can help me.
Thanks for sharing. I read many of your blog posts, cool, your blog is very good.
Your point of view caught my eye and was very interesting. Thanks. I have a question for you. https://www.binance.info/en-IN/register-person?ref=UM6SMJM3
Hello!
faithwalking.mysites.io, Thanks for the time and heart you put into posting and moderating.
I recently published my ebooks and training videos on
https://www.hotelreceptionisttraining.com/
They feel like a hidden gem for anyone interested in hospitality management and tourism. These ebooks and videos have already been welcomed and found very useful by students in Russia, the USA, France, the UK, Australia, Spain, and Vietnam—helping learners and professionals strengthen their real hotel reception skills. I believe visitors and readers here might also find them practical and inspiring.
Unlike many resources that stay only on theory, this ebook and training video set is closely connected to today’s hotel business. It comes with full step-by-step training videos that guide learners through real front desk guest service situations—showing exactly how to welcome, assist, and serve hotel guests in a professional way. That’s what makes these materials special: they combine academic knowledge with real practice.
With respect to the owners of faithwalking.mysites.io who keep this platform alive, I kindly ask to share this small contribution. For readers and visitors, these skills and interview tips can truly help anyone interested in becoming a hotel receptionist prepare with confidence and secure a good job at hotels and resorts worldwide. If found suitable, I’d be grateful for it to remain here so it can reach those who need it.
Why These Ebooks and Training Videos Are Special
They uniquely combine academic pathways such as a bachelor’s degree in hospitality management or a advanced hotel management course with very practical guidance on the hotel front desk job duties. They also cover the hotel front desk job description, and detailed hotel front desk duties and responsibilities.
The materials go further by explaining the hotel reservation process, check-in and check-out procedures, guest relations, and practical guest service recovery—covering nearly every situation that arises in the daily business of a front office operation.
Beyond theory, my ebooks and training videos connect the academic side of resort management with the real-life practice of hotel front desk duties and responsibilities.
– For students and readers: they bridge classroom study with career preparation, showing how hotel and management course theory link directly to front desk skills.
– For professionals and community visitors: they support career growth through questions for receptionist, with step-by-step questions to ask a receptionist in an interview. There’s also guidance on writing a strong receptionist description for resume.
As someone who has taught hospitality management programs for nearly 30 years, I rarely see materials that balance the academic foundation with the day-to-day hotel front desk job responsibilities so effectively. This training not only teaches but also simulates real hotel reception challenges—making it as close to on-the-job learning as possible, while still providing structured guidance.
I hope the owners of faithwalking.mysites.io, and the readers/visitors of faithwalking.mysites.io, will support my ebooks and training videos so more people can access the information and gain the essential skills needed to become a professional hotel receptionist in any hotel or resort worldwide.
Wishing you continued success with your site—truly.
