Today I am in NY hanging out with some pastor friends discussing trends and future movements within the church. We are discussing MANY of the issues I have been sharing with Mtn Lakers, regarding our desire to BE the people of God like never before in the days ahead. GREAT DISCUSSIONS! God is at work shaping His church for things to come! Greater things are still to be done!
Steve Andrews: Kensington Community Church, Detroit
Todd Proctor, Rock Harbor Church, Orange Co, CA
Brian Bloye, West Ridge Church, ATL,
Dave Ferguson, Community Christian Church, Chicago, IL
Mark Deymaaz, Mosaic Church, Little Rock, AR
Greg Surratt, Seacoast Church, Charleston, SC
Greg Nettle, RiverTree Christian Church, Ohio
Some of our guides:
Todd Wilson, Exponential
Alan Hirsch, Forge
Bill Cochenour, Cogun
Ed Bahler, Aspen Group
Love hearing and seeing some of the thoughts being thrown around there today. What an exciting time to be in the church and be the church. I look forward to seeing how God will use all of this. Thanks Shawn for looking to see where God is working and having the courage to join Him.
There are so many possibilities on how we can reach the disconnected. Most of those ways a lot of churches wouldn't dream of attempting. I'm thankful Christ not only knew the possibilities but he revealed them. He had the courage and love to go after them.
I pray that we all take His lead and ask for the courage to do the same. Like you said earlier " if you believe Christ is Lord start living like it"

Hi Shawn:
Nice video--looks like good times. Ed Bahler is the CEO of the company that I work for. Did you find any good barbeque in NYC? Their restaurants probably didn't have the secret rub!
