This afternoon I called a meeting with 7 pastors from my city — Urbana, IL — who have a heart for the city, especially the poor and disfranchised. Each of them briefly told their story…and how Jesus and his call gives form and shape to their ministry…
* A pastor from the Evangelical Covenant Church
* A pastor from the Church of Christ
* A pastor from the Mennonite Church
* A pastor from the Missouri-Synod Lutheran Church
* A pastor from the Vineyard Church
* A pastor from the United Methodist Church
* A pastor from the Assembly of God Church
… And I really liked it! Jesus is the head of the Church… and I so enjoy hearing the stories of those who feel called to lead.
