I have to admit that there have been some tough battles along the way: having to deal with trust issues, control issues, and simply re-aligning constituents’ paradigms of what the pastor actually should do in a church. Yet I am seeing the light at the end of the tunnel and I praise God that our UB leadership has helped carry the banner for this model. We have all read the testimonies of how successful this model can be, and I look forward to God using it right here where I’m at.
