A2: Community Impact Bullpen Discussion

Legacies (father-son) in the kingdom are a beautiful thing. What are 2 or 3 things passed on from your father to you?

• his optimism for ministry -- he spoke so well about people in the church
• he was my best friend

how did you grow up in a suburban church and get jazzed? literally it was to survive -- suburban ministry just wouldn't work in LA how do you approach funding? I'm the product of my dad's success for one -- that's helped raise money to do a 24/7 church -- you can do it with whatever you can now -- do one thing and do it well we told the story every single day -- we've looked for funding everywhere. gov't funding is dangerous because it comes with strings attached (peope to hire, no gospel, etc.) how do you start? momentum creates funding START -- money follows ministry (by the way -- pastor King at Riverside said something similar to this, when I heard him speak at the last Related Leaders) start once a month...twice a month...once a week...get the ball rolling as a pastor, you have to tell storys...you have to be a storyteller Comment from Bill & Jim Mellado -- they (dream center) are so simple...their vision is simple and everyone buys it which makes it so strong from an organizational perspective -- "SEE A NEED, MEET A NEED" there's a lot of "nuts & bolts" discussion going on about Adopt-a-Block that I'm not putting here
