Those of you who know me know that my vision is to see, “a biblical small group within walking distance of every person on the planet.” This dream is beginning to come alive in the hearts of others.
My friend
Tim Weems serves at
Southwinds Church in Tracy, California. He is gathering a group of pastors from various denominations and non-denominational churches that I’ll be meeting with in November to strategize to make this a reality in Tracy.
Richard Fish, a small group pastor in Waynesville, North Carolina emailed this statement to me which declares his goal…. "To see a small group within walking distance of every person in Haywood County."
A few weeks ago I got this email from a pastor in India… “Dear Sir. Greetings to u in Jesus name. I am Emmanuel Lodge from Agra India. I have same vision you have and I am serving the Lord among Hindu people and trying to build small group church. So far I have started five small churches and wish to make 1000 small churches in Northern India. I would be greatfull to you if you can remember me in your daily prayer and help whatever way you can. God bless you. Looking forward to hear from u. Emmanuel & Archana”
My dear friends… God is beginning to spread the vision to others. He’s doing something that is beyond comprehension. I wonder… Would you like to join this movement? If so, please let me know by sending an email to me at
