I was reminded of a quote I heard from Bill Gates that has given me good perspective on the vision of Catalyst and our progress as a church. He said, “We tend to over estimate what we can accomplish in the first 2 years and under estimate what we can accomplish in the first 10.”
This reminder has given me great hope for the future of Catalyst…if I can learn to get out of the way and let God build at His rate…not mine. Church planting takes vision, but it also takes patience. It takes surrender, but diligence. It takes prayer, but hard work. The combination of these things will give us the balance we need to see God at work and to see the fruit of our labor.
See…even Bill Gates has something to offer the church.
Thoughts?
