I shared these at Indian Creek today, they are fun facts about our global live out: Did you know that Indian Creek lives out globally in four countries around the world? S. Africa, China, Peru and India.
I get the privilege of time up close to Bill Hybels a couple of times a year as a host pastor to the Global Leadership Summit and I always come away impressed with his passion for the local church. This year I was gripped by his ability to zero in on the pain of his good friend Gary Schwammlein and the devestating thought that came with it that no one should cry alone. I’ll flesh out the story for you.
Here is the video message from Sunday’s conclusion to the My Church 2013 series. If it ministers to you pass on the link.
This may be the objection I hear more than any other. Many times in a year someone tells me this or that to believe that Jesus is the only way to God is too exclusive (they may use more colorful words I won’t lose here). I found this video on ExploreGod.com.
I appreciated the feedback I received from todays message, Vision, My Church 2013. I’ll post the video when it is available later but if you wanted to have the text I want to make it available. We can do this by the grace of God Indian Creek: Vision_for_Indian_Creek.docx.

I’ll always be grateful to Gary Schmitz, Nancy Mitchell, Rick Boxx, Matt Adams, Dave Ferguson, Belinda Kendall, Caroline Cofield, John Brooks and Greg Ealey.

He’s been bett…
Here is the message I spoke at the Olathe campus Sunday as part of the My Church 2013 series. I love the content but my voice is wigged out. One person told me, “Maybe it helped because it made me listen real close.”
Jennifer Hunt is a great friend and former staff member at Indian Creek. She is traveling to India with Belinda and her team next week. Jennifer put together a great video that tells the story of the mission.
