Gateway is getting good.
I would love to take some credit for it all, but quite frankly I am just standing back amazed. It is exciting to see the church in a post-starting gun mode, just getting out of the starters position and beginning the run of its life! Today, I got to sit (sort of) during the message… Paul did a great job in part three of “The YOU Show” series.
In the middle of the excitement there are some challenges:
- Our reach is expanding with people coming from out of town. Great thing, but it creates a ministry that is not as centralized. Seem to remember that God said we would be in many places.
- I’ve got to learn to give the things away that I have had to fight for. Others can and will step forward.
- I don’t want to get program oriented. I don’t want the schedule to dictate whether or not we seek God’s presence.
- The more accessible I can be the more effective I will minister. I will also guard my time.
I’m excited. I’m scared. I’m stoked. I’m tired.
What a ride.
