The Larger Body
By Ivan

I’ve been inspired.
There is amazing strength in connecting with the larger body of Christ. The last three days has been spent in Denver connecting with other brothers and sisters in Christ from our Converge World Wide body. I have been strengthened by the experience once again.
I have experienced:
- Some of the most amazing leaders and let a little of them rub off on me
- Highly respected peers share their personal and ministry journeys
- Affirmation in what we are doing at Edinbrook seeing that other godly leaders and successful churches are doing so many of the same things as we are
- True friendship by connecting and re-connecting with some pretty amazing people — some who I’ve traveled with and have labored with in the past
- Joy in sharing what we have done at Edinbrook…especially through QUAKE. Converge was encouraged and inspired by our Edinbrook story of generosity.
As I’ve reflected on my experiences the last few days, I’ve been reminded of the inestimable value of friendship, accountability, and learning from our larger body in Christ. It helps me know that we are “on track”, that there are new ways to accomplish the old commission, and that God is mightily at work among us.
Yay, God!!!!
