One of the things I have missed over the past 10 years has been the intellectual stimulation of other pastors and theologians. It has been a joy to me over the last year to be part of a fellowship of fellow pastors and enjoy the stimulation of their thinking, their lives and their ministries.
Tonight I met with a new committee. It is made of up Free Methodist pastors from across the Oregon Conference. We were to look at the strategy and goals of our conference over the next 10 years or so. I was thrilled to hear the vision of other pastors as we talked over everything from equipping and resourcing pastors, to training the leadership of tomorrow, to church planting.
It will be exciting to see how God begins to meld this committee together as we begin to truly know and trust each other in the weeks to come. I think there is a lot of work ahead of us as we begin to dream big dreams and follow God’s vision for the future He is calling us to.
“The days are near when every vision will be fulfilled” Ezekiel 12:23
To be part of a group like this is an incredible privilege. I am grateful for the chance to enlarge my own vision and be challenged in my own ministry and life as I grow with other leaders. I believe that there are great things ahead.
