The last 24 hrs have been unbelievable! Yesterday we started a new Pastor’s coaching network with pastors from all over the Southeast, and spent an entire day investing into them, giving them permission to plant and lead churches that change the way people think about church. Here are the guys: some of the sharpest around!
Greg Bearss, Lake Pointe Lutheran Church: Hot Springs, AR
Chris Goins, a2 Church: Birmingham,AL
Paul Peterson, New Life Church: Rock Hill, SC
Jeffrey Hickman, LifeSong Church: Lyman, SC
Ken Joslin, Life Church: Gainesville, GA
Matt Adair, C2 Church: Watkinsville, GA
Howard Koepka, Eagle Pointe Church: Acworth, GA
Kevin Bullock, Reality Church: Carrollton , GA
The greatest news is that impacting God’s Kingdom doesn’t end there for us! Right now, we have a team headed to Turkey to train pastors who have a desire to start and lead churches all across Europe and the Middle East. In December, I’ll lead another trip to Egypt where we will have 200-300 pastors in the annual Church planting conference we host there now!
Today I also got to hang out with a church planter from Amsterdam, Holland: Sebastiaan van Wessem (pictured below), pastor of thousand hills international church and founder of Europe Advance, a church planting network founded out of his church plant (sound familiar?), that is catalyzing collaboration among planters and churches across Europe, and starting new sites and churches!
Mountain Lakers, I want you to know that it’s my heart for our church to keep building, not the “Mountain Lake Kingdom,” even thought I want to reach and minister to thousands in our own backyard! I just don’t want us to forget that the Kingdom of God is bigger than one community, city, state or even nation! I want all of us to keep before us God’s desire to impact His Kingdom everywhere: OUR Jerusalem (community) ,Judea (state), Samaria (region), and to the ends of the earth! It is my honor as pastor of this church to be allowed to invest in, and build HIS Kingdom! I hope you;re just as honored to be a part of what God is doing in and through us together!
