LDI Update

Our special guest for our International Leadership Development Institute is Dr. Bryan Cutshall (Brio - http://www.churchtrainer.com/about).

Dr. Cutshall shared in a conversation welcoming all to attend.

In today's conversation, Dr. Cutshall shared how he began pastoring at the age of 24 with a congregation of 52 in attendance. After 6 years, he had 150 in attendance. He sought guidance from books (one-a-week), specialist like Dr. John Maxwell. In 10 years, they grew to an attendance of 628. In the dialog, you will see the key is not about ministry or preaching that causes greater size, it is about structure. Presently, the Twin Rivers Worship Center in St. Louis, MO, has an attendance over 3,000. The focus of LDI will be growing from 50 to 500.

To listen to the conversation, please access, Conference Play Back Playback Number: (712) 432-1139 Access Code: 781930#.
