Last night was incredible…probably one of the best gatherings we have had in my 6.5 months here. I am really excited to see God working through a generation of people that statistically are fleeing the church, and have been marked by ineffectiveness and non-commitment. My generation will turn this world on its head…wait and see…

If the world were a village of 100 people, 67 of those people would. not know the good news and grace of Jesus Christ. If the world were a village of 100 people, 20 of those people would live on less than a dollar a day. The mission of Jesus is to change all that!… [Read more…]

I am still amazed, and in a little bit of disbelief at how ZAO communities internet community through myspace has taken off. In just four weeks we are at nearly 3000 views and nearly 600 friends/associates/members/whatever…its a lot of folks. It has become completely interactive as well, with people sending messages with questions and comments… [Read more…]

“There’s nothing sexy here. There’s no rock band, no drop-down theater-size video screen, no 100-member gospel choir—just a few chamber musicians and a couple of prayer leaders to help the congregation along in its hymns.
