Saw a great article in Elim's Direction magazine by Simon Jarvis - some quotes:
"We want to show that the local church can truly impact the world"
"If we build people God will build the church."
"If we build the people the church will grow. I don't feel God is too worried about the model, he's more worried about acts of obedience"
"Ever since time began God has been interested in the individual. I don't think there's anything that brings a smile to the face of God more than when a person recognises who they are, what gift they should operate in and to see it flourish"
Food for thought - let's build great people and let God sort out the building of great churches...
Paul and Jean Blakey
