Starting day two of the #GreaterThings Compassion Conference. The speakers are amazing. Last night we heard from Tommy Barnett and Joyce Meyer. Today, people like Miles McPherson, Christine Caine, Mark Batterson, Matthew Barnett and Dino Rizzo. Last night was open to the general public and Healing Place was 90% full. But here's the reality: A major conference on compassion and ministering to the poor, the hurting, the broken... and only 800 people registered.
Joyce Meyer said last night if the speakers had been talking about the top 12 secrets to growing your church to Megachurch status, the place would've been packed.
Its a little sad to me to see such a small response... but then I started thinking of Gideon's small army... God can do a lot with a small group of people who are radically comitted to His purpose.
I am believing God is going to give us some new ideas to make a difference in our community... and ministering to those who are boken and hurting. God does not dispise small beginnings.
