Willow World

Right now I am
in Chicago attending the 2006 Leadership Summit at
Willow Creek. To say the least, it has been an
incredible conference. My biggest struggle here has
been answering the question, How do I transfer all
this to the campus of WCU? More specifically, how can
WCU contain all the breadth of impact I want to see
WCU have? Bill Hybels, though I have never heard him
speak before this summer nor have I followed the
long, faithful steps of willow, all the criticism is
for naught. Here I see a man striving after Gods
heart, and Gods call to reach the lost and to
proclaim the message of Jesus Christ. Naysayers
beware. I'd follow Bill anyday because I have seen
and heard, and know he follows Christ.
I've been challenged deep to think about how we are going to change the campus of WCU. How can we as a staff team impact and influence to the greatest extent the community of West Chester? How can I challenge local churches and pastors to join us and us with them in engaging with the world? There are a TON of thoughts racing. But, more and more, a clarity of thought and purpose begins to emerge and I am excited about what is possible and could be.
