Sitting on a Gold Mine

Can this really be happening?

Thousands of the state's (and world's) best leaders converge on this town in the middle of these Iowa cornfields to study and pursue their dreams. Hundreds of them show up every Thursday night at Salt Company to seek God's dream for their lives.

Sometimes I feel like I'm being set up for some kind of cosmic punch line...

But there's a great stewardship that comes with this next generation of leaders. We have a vision to raise these students up to become leaders in the church- whether godly moms, elders, engineers, pastors, teachers, worship leaders...

So we've launched the Cornerstone School of Theology to equip those seeking to be trained for ministry.

Today was our first class: Church History with Professors Jeff Dodge and Tim Lubinus.

Stan (TSC Freshman Director) didn't fare so well on the first quiz (this wasn't for a grade since it was the first day of class)...

Stan turned to me after getting a whopping score of 3/14 and said, "I really need to take this class."

How many pastors, missionaries, worship leaders, youth pastors, and other full time ministry workers have already been birthed out of Cornerstone/TSC? I hope to see that number increased exponentially in the coming years.

Soli Deo Gloria.
