What a great finish to a truly great day! Pastor Carey serves a church in the poorest place in America and does so passionately. He truly believes “I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength.” What a riveting speaker! Some of his most thought-provoking nuggets were:• Do you really believe God’s Word is true? Then show it by your actions!
• Stop whining about staff and resources and get ferociously intent on equipping others!
• Members must be forced to take ownership of the work. We must get out of the huddle and play the game!
• We do “urban camping” in the darkest parts of the city. We’ve shut down 9 crackhouses!
• We create a context in which people have the opportunity to see biblical truths lived out. Force people to discover for themselves the truth of God’s Word in the most awful of circumstances.
• DON’T ALLOW RESOURCES TO DRIVE MINISTRY!
Wow – what a great finish to an already pretty fantastic day!
