I help oversee efforts in four Indian states (Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Karnataka, and Maharashtra). In each of these, we have done Catalyst Communities. Additionally, we have done trainings in Singapore and Malaysia. God is working mightily in these states and countries!

When we started this series three months ago, we knew that some shifts were needed to not just survive but thrive as churches in this changed Covid landscape. Since then we’ve seen more than ever that this is truly a time to dream big, a time to unify the global church, and a time to move!

Mid-June we had our monthly Zoom call with our Chicagoland Network Leaders, and I confess I thought my role would be to encourage our network leaders to remain focused on multiplication and church-planting.

In the 1980s, R.E.M released “It's The End Of The World As We Know It.’ This song became one of my favorites, and I have listened to it hundreds of times since then. It goes like this:

It's the end of the world as we know it

It's the end of the world as we know it

It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine.
