Look Around

I heard TD Jakes say something at a conference I attended several years ago that stuck with me..."When you start to see the heavy equipment come in you know God isn't trying to build a chicken coup but he's building a temple."

He was saying that when God begins to surround you with incredible people, incredible volunteers, incredible leaders that that is the thing that always precedes explosive growth. I could not agree more. I look back to when Pastor Robert started Gateway and we were flooded with incredible volunteers. In fact, even now at 10,000, some of the best leaders we have were here when we were less than 1,000.

When I look around at what surrounds me I am amazed at what the Lord has done and even more I am amazed at what he is about to do because of all of these incredible people. I am grateful.

The builders always come before the building and they'll keep coming all along the way.

Thank you Lord.
