Excerpt taken from Daniel&#8217;s Travel Journal: Colombia (Bogota), 2010: Day 05
The essence of my extended message was based on a simple premise: we do not always follow biblical patterns in how we arrange and structure church. For instance, Jesus discipled a small number of people—not large crowds—and with those few, He turned the world upside [...]]]></description>

The mega-church model, dependent upon unusually gifted (CEO-type)leaders, simply isn’t a possibility for most pastors-to-be. Relatively speaking, there are very, very few pastors who lead mega-churches, so we must assume most pastors are not (for whatever reason) “capable, gifted, called or blessed” enough to have such churches. BUT (and it’s a big BUT), this rare [...]]]></description>
