What we measure determines what we think success is.

ATTENDANCE, BUILDINGS and CASH (Offerings)

Jonathan Oloyede – P.U.S.H. (Pray Until Something Happens)
We are not meant to come to church and have the pastor tell us what to do.
We are to come and tell the Pastor what God is doing!
Will we have bottlenecks, or wildfire?!
The leaders are necessary if they are there to provide guidance and support and discernment- but all through the week God should be breaking out through everyone. We need the Holy Spirit most of all!
