Interesting Conversations

Posted: February 5, 2009 in Uncategorized

I’ve had 3 in past 3 weeks.

A few weeks ago I was introduced to Kenneth Thronson and his passion, The Lighthouse Rescue Mission. Kenneth’s Faith and Vision for this ministry is GOD sized. This ministry in Southeast Hattiesburg is destined to touch many with the message and love of Jesus Christ.

Last week I meet Sean Collier and earlier this week he and I had a great conversation about Discipleship over a cup of coffee (I always order a “short” cup from *bucks). Sean is a great guy with a heart for spreading the gospel in Japan. One of my take always from my time with Sean is this quote. “Jesus called us to make disciples, not plant churches.” WOW! I’m looking forward to hanging out with Sean over Skype, when they return to Japan later next week.

Today I had a 30 minute phone interview with Courtney Eibhelberger, from LifeWay Research. The Turning Pointe Church was selected, along with 16 other churches, to participate in research focusing on how churches are reaching young adults. It was refreshing to be able to say, “We aren’t a church simply trying to reach young adults; we are a church of young adults.” I hope to post my interview and the result of the final research in a few weeks.
