church army conference

What can i say, I have been to many conferences in the retail world before i started pointing people to Jesus, and they have been inspiring and motivational and did not think they could be topped. This conference was not only inspiring, motivational, but added an extra dimension. from moving away from the focus on ones self to work in partnership with God to transforming people, in the power of Jesus.Wow that is something to get fired up about.

Jackie Pullinger was fantastic, real and had a no nonsence approach.
For me particular the following jumped out.
Don't skip the relationship bit with God.
Expect to see miracles
Read the basic gospel and just do it.
See people how Jesus see's them.
See transformation not conversion.
Time for friends, prayer and support.

I'll finish with a word from Rob Bell in "Velvet Elvis""A trampoline has many springs, and are essential to help us jump, they help us make sense of the deeper realities of our faith. The springs are not God, the springs are not Jesus. They are statements and beliefs of our faith that give words to the depth that we are experiencing in our jumping."Lets focus on Jumping and not on the springs.
