Being overwhelmed changed me. I was overwhelmed by the number of lost people in Houston, Texas. I was overwhelmed by the vast Kingdom resources that never got utilized in the multiplication of disciples, churches and movements. I was overwhelmed by how long it takes and how much it costs to recruit, train, coach and resource a church planter to plant a church. How could we reach so many with the gospel with so few resources when it takes so long to prepare one church planter? This question changed me from thinking about ministry like a golf team to thinking about ministry like a basketball team. It changed my ministry from an individual activity to a team sport. I began to believe in collaboration.
