I found a dynamite quote in The Strategically Small Church in my reading this afternoon.
O’Brien quotes Jim Belcher, pastor of Redeemer Presbyterian Church as saying, “synergy between the people’s heart and the pastor’s heart” produces church activity that changes lives.
Can you imagine the excitement about a church planning retreat that focused on finding the point where the passion of the pastor’s heart and the member’s heart flowed together to touch people for Jesus?
