Faithful Followers

I just want to say "Thank you!" to the 15 followers at this point. I know we are not at the exciting point yet, but we're getting close. Just 26 days left! Just knowing that I have you in my corner and me in your prayers does mean a lot. As each piece and each contact comes together I see more and more potential for a meaningful outcome. My comfort is the last of my concerns. I know that I'll always find a way to keep moving on. Safety is a very minor concern as I feel pretty confident with the miles I've put on over the years. There is always the unknown regarding others on the road, but I'll be as careful as possible. What I think of more than those issues is being able to reach inside the heart of as many pastors as possible. I want to see what is working and what might work if they had the opportunity to put it into place. Do the pastors in churches that are not growing have the heart to hang in there or even to go outside the box and try something new even if the church leadership doesn't support it? It's pretty hard to maintain any level of creativity or enthusiasm if you have to do it all on your own. My goal is to learn and to encourage all along the way. If this only turns out to be a great ride and adventure it will be a failure. Your support, interest, encouragement, and prayers will be a great blessing to me.
