—Michael J. Mantel, Ph.D., President & CEO
I am so grateful for our partnership with The Crossing and our own colleagues—what a great team to gather pastors and ministry leaders to pursue the unity of the Body of Christ!
This week’s “One Church” event in Portland was our 3rd US-based pastors’ brunch on the heels of bringing the Genius of One Conference across 4 continents to 14 countries with 12 languages to bless over 4,000 church leaders!
I loved hearing how the seeds planted in one place are being watered in another. Of note, when I was talking with Elise from the Luis Palau Association, she mentioned that a group of pastors who attended the One Church event in Hampton Roads (Virginia Beach) reached out to her team to learn how to take the next steps in organizing themselves to solve some issues in their school system. She and I talked about bringing our Genius of One message to city organizers from around the country.
Sometimes we plant, other times we water. Ultimately, the harvest is for the Lord. I am so excited to see how the Lord will end the water crisis through his Church while it pursues the Great Commission! What a joy to be a part of what the Lord is doing!!!
