My overarching passion has been with small group ministry and missions. God is using Mega Churches, Community Churches and House Churches to accomplish His Kingdom purposes in the earth today. The use of small groups to build accountability and community in the Body of Christ is one means to accomplish the great commission. Sponsoring, training and sending people on short term mission trips as well as extended time has been an effective way to impart vision for reaching people with the gospel of Jesus Christ.
