Blown Away...

Some of our team just got back from a Flamingo Road Church learning trip. These guys blew us away. Generosity flows through their entire team. They gave us priceless information and tools to pull off a series that we will be doing a little later in the summer. Wait until you see this!!!

Also, as we are thinking of our sphere of influence with the Good News of Jesus, they helped us see how we can maximize our resources in having greater influence. Technology is a God given tool that we are going to leverage. More on this later!

However, more than the above two things, Flamingo helped us to see how God blesses those who run after what He has put into their heart. God wants to use each and every Church in the world to help people step towards Christ and with Christ… The question is… “Will the church step out in faith to accomplish the mission that God has given?”

Here are a few character traits that run deep through a church that is doing what God has called them to do and I observed these at Flamingo while we were there:

1) Leadership
2) Management
3) Loyalty
4) Generosity
5) Love
6) Vision
7) Values
8) Commitment

A church can have all the tools, bells, and whistles in the world, but without the above character traits it will not reach its full potential. I am so glad that we got to see the heart of a God honoring church, not just the tools they use to reach people!
