There's a great guy who works at the Paramount Theater who attends a Vineyard church in Aurora, IL. He said they meet in a house on Sundays because they don't want to grow...
gasp.
ack... right?
Until he explains that they want to grow outward. They want to send people out to start things... to be on mission... to plant new churches.
That's so New Testament, it's almost unrecognizable.
Love that.
AWESOME!

I like this strategy. How did you meet him? Was he an awesome, outstanding person, filled with the Love of God?
Go this!

Aaah good strategy. Genius. Not easy at all, or fun really...but totally worth it.

Ben -
How can we get more information on how this person is implementing this? We're looking to take our group in a new direction this fall.
Thanks
