Worldwide gathering
The church of Jesus Christ exploded with a lot less than we are imploding with.Back from two weeks in the US for the CRM worldwide gathering. We welcomed CRM UK, Korea, Africa, the Middle East as new CRM entities led by nationals. The Aussies and Hungarians now have some allies in standing up the CRM US juggernaut. The plotting has begun. Sam Metcalf you are warned.Erwin McManus
Eric Herron and crew led worship. Nobody does hymns like Eric. Except Van Morrison, but he wasn’t available.
Erwin McManus founder of Mosaic took a couple of sessions. He warmed the hearts of every pioneer and church planter with this insight from I Chron 11:6. Who gets to lead? Whoever (1) is willing to go first and (2) comes back alive. Lesson: when you act, God meets you there.
Looking forward to reading a couple of his books.
CRM has just launched it’s new funky website: www.crmleaders.org
Check out the podcasts: Terry Walling interviewing Steve Roggero on leadership development and leadership transitions or Hugh Halter on Zero church planting.
Bumped into a few NieuCommunites people. Great option if you’re looking for a year that will change your life.
Highlight of the trip? Being with Michelle. LA to San Francisco via the coast, followed by watching her launch into her new calling as CRM Australia’s organizational leader. I’ll still be leading the ministry overall. She’s a natural. Nice to see God’s timing for us both. I’m ready now to focus on fueling church planting movements everywhere. Writing, speaking, networking, training, recruiting, coaching apostolic leaders.
Here in Australia we’re believing God for a 1000 new churches. If you share that calling, let me know.
