Matt Chandler is a strong leader in the Church today. He brings the heat in his preaching and his church has grown like crazy over the last decade.
Here's insight into how Matt Chandler does his walk with God. From Adrian Warnock's Blog - AdrianWarnock.com
This is a bit embarassing...I was convinced that I had posted this video wtih Nicky Yates shortly after our National Tour stop in Washington D.C.. I have since discovered that the blog post I wrote never posted! So, with HUGE aplogies to Nicky AND Charity Water, I am posting this now fully aware that September is almost over - if you have not heard about what Charity Water has been doing in the month of September you are missing an incredibly encouraging story...
(Thanks to Jesse Phillips for posting this video earlier this month)
Nicky Yates - Charity Water
Meet Nicky Yates, Executive Assistant & Volunteer Coordinator, at Charity Water. After she spoke at the Washington, D.C. Idea Camp she sat down with me to share more about he story and what has been happening with their exciting September initiative at Charity Water...again, huge aplogies for only now getting this out!
I know, I know, you're supposed to keep your eyes on the road! Here is a road trip video interview with Danny Anderson & Steve Rouse from Immanuel Church of God in Greenwood, IN...literally, "on the road!" Hope you are encouraged...
Danny Anderson & Steve Rouse - Immanuel Church of God
If you were averaging 2,700 people AND $60K in tithes every week would you consider making significant changes to your church??? Now please, suspend your "it's not about numbers and not about money" response...we all know the right answer.
Just pause and put yourself in the shoes of a pastor and leadesrhip team who senses the Lord leading in a different direction and follows in faith only to see their weekly attendance drop below a thousand and their HUGE tithe support fall away.
It's not about numbers and not about money...but wow, it's so much easier to feel successful when both are flying high. This is a glimpse into the story of two leaders on the front lines of ministry in Greenwood, IN making tough decisions about the "systems" in their church and moving towards the call they sense from the Lord. it's never easy, but their faith is so encouraging...
Listen as Steve shares about the impact they've experienced from Andy Stanley's 2007 Catalyst "Systems" Talk and Danny shares about leading their church through recent changes...these guys are a blast to hang out with, really hope to see them again soon!
Catalyst is right around the corner!
We are working like dogs right now (really hard working dogs, like sled dogs, or those dogs with caskets around their necks) to get everything ready for the event. We put a lot of work and brainstorming into making Catalyst an experience that will challenge and surprise you.
But all of our hardwork means nothing if God's not in it. We can put on a great show, but if God doesn't speak, there's no point.
So we're praying that God will show-up in a powerful way at Catalyst. We're asking God to speak to each and every heart, to challenge us, to transform us, to reveal things to us, to give us vision - to do something supernatural, glorifying Himself and marking our lives for ... a long time.
Please pray with us that God will do something AMAZING at Catalyst this year.
If you're coming, pray that God will speak to you, teach you, and do something He's never done in your life before.
If you're coming with a team, set a day before the event to gather and pray that God uses this event to transform your hearts and your minds, give you fresh encouragement and vision. Pray that he takes our meager plans we've made and creates a supernatural experience that we could never possibly have created.
If you're not coming, please pray that God will use Catalyst (despite ourselves) to ignite a revival in His Church in America!!!
Thanks for praying. =) The Lord's Will be done.
