Connecting the Unconnected

Many of us have read, The Tipping Point by Malcolm Gladwell who teaches there is a point at which the momentum for change cannot be stopped. He writes in order to cause any type of social movement three types of people are needed: Mavens, Salesmen, and Connectors.

In starting The Pursuit and building the staff, I knew I needed to surround myself with mavens and connectors because I am definitely the salesman. I believe connectors are especially vital to church planting and the more you can get on board the better. If you look up "connector" in the dictionary you will see a picture of Bob Smith.

Bob currently serves The Pursuit Christian Church as Campus Pastor of the Pembroke Pines/Miramar location but he and his wife Linda are also in the process of starting a new campus that will reach older adults so they can love, live, lead. Just read his recent post over on his blog. Read it and you'll see what kind of a connector he is. Click here for Bob's blog.

New New Years Tradition

How did we ring in 2008? Clubbing in SoBe? Nope.

We headed over to Century Village (a 55+ gated community in Pembroke Pines) and played cards with Bob and Linda Smith. Yeah, the Mehaffey's know how to party hard. Actually it was a lot of fun. The Smith's served up Skyline Chili, which is the nectar of all that is good in life. The picture is one I took and sent to the Diaz (who were in Indy) to let them know we missed them and wished them a happy new year.

2008. I can't wait to see what this year has in store for our lives and the new life of The Pursuit Christian Church. With God, I know for sure it won't be boring!
