The People Factor: How Building Great Relationships And Ending Bad Ones Unlocks Your God-Given Purpose - Plot & Excerpts
I COULD HARDLY BELIEVE how tremendously God had blessed the small seed of a ministry my wife and I planted in Birmingham, Alabama. We had been there only nine months, having started a church with just a few families. And now, a relatively short time later, we had a chance to buy a building! We prayed and prayed about the purchase, wrestling with our decision, well aware that it would be the biggest leap of faith we had ever taken in ministry. We sought wise counsel from people who knew us, loved us, and had prayed along with us. They all supported us. Except one. I had enjoyed many years of rich, rewarding relationship with one of my friends and mentors, Pastor Sanders. I respected his opinion greatly and was eager to share with him the story of how God had brought us so quickly to the opportunity to buy our very own church building. He thought it was a bad idea. Based on his years of experience, he felt we were taking on too big a challenge too early in the life of our ministry. He knew the potential pressures and difficulties I as the pastor could face as we absorbed such a huge financial commitment.
