Hey, Andrew–thanks for the shout-out to LCAE. It was great to have you–people have been brain-storming since your talk and it’s cool to see. Also SO great to have you at Urbana this year.

Peace.

Andrew, it was a pleasure attending the LCAE luncheon and hearing you speak so passionately. I wish more of us in the Body were willing to do hard things and extreme things for the cause of Christ. Your message is convicting and challenging and I will be praying for you and your ministry as I read your book.

Thanks for your kind words about the LCAE. It is a real blessing to be a part of this community.

I don't think church growth and kingdom impact are mutually exclusive. Healthy things have a tendency to grow. And with the growth comes kingdom impact. I know a lot of people who are skeptical when healthy things grow. I'm not sure why.

Yes, it's very sad. I still have hope though…

"Is Christianity about church growth or Kingdom impact?"

Isn't it sad that this question even needs to be asked?

I think the blessing was ours Andrew. You were a tremendous encouragement to us. I am reading your book as I write this comment. Awesome! All God's best to you as you continue your ministry.

Wow, thanks for the props Andrew. LCAE is a "spoke" of a larger organization called "Serve the City" which has over 40 churches and Christian ministries represented. Charles Daugherty has done an awesome job over the years being a pastor to the pastors and Christian organizations in Cedar Rapids.

This coalition of churches went to work when the flood of 2008 was impending and volunteers went door-to-door begging people to flee the coming flood waters. As a result, not one life was lost.

Charles then led a huge group of volunteers who organized and dispatched workers into the flood zone as recovery began.

We feel really blessed here to have such a great group of ministry partners!
