Tuesday evening I was installed as pastor of this congregation in California. It was also the opening session for the West Region Conference. Ten pastors and one vicar participated.
Yesterday we heard one of our pastors speak to the issue of intentional mens ministry to lead to long term growth. Superb presentation. He began a congregation with five people in 1992, now worshipping 400, and he has planted five other daughter congregations ranging in attendance from 250-400 each, and he supervises 17 pastors in his area. And he is advisor and supervisor to a denomination in Ecuador. He also teaches some of our seminary courses.
We finally have moved into the house to the point where would could entertain church leaders and spouses last night. My wife has been working so hard for this. Evening turned out well.
I teach two sessions this morning.
