Southwinds Church,Calgary, Alberta - Launch

We arrived in a "much colder than South Carolina" environment today. God is doing some exciting stuff here in Calgary. Neal McGlohon and 9 people from FBC Taylors are on the team. We get to watch a launch, do footwork, and encourage. I can do encourage. A well-trained monkey can do encourage. Wonder why we don't do it more?

The launching pastor of Southwinds (http://www.southwindschurch.ca/) is Rob Blackaby. Famous names for 100? Yes, it is Henry's nephew and the president of the Canadian Baptist Seminary. Southwinds vision is to help communities by introducing neighbors to neighbors. I like it.

Taylors FBC has been sending teams for well over a year. Great partnership. Steve Sjogren said to me once "partnership is the heart of God." Simple, but profound. Plus he is famous in the Kingdom. Wanted you to know I know somebody beyond Stetzer and Reggie.

South Carolina planters, a great potential project for you (you know the Acts 1:8 deal). The late Keith Green said: If God has not called you to stay then you have already been told to go (he did not say that to me, personally, but at a concert). Where are you going?

Blogging Canada for awhile. We will be here 7 days. More Learning from Leaders later. Pray for us, please, and the lauch of Southwinds Church.
