Seems in my same community I've been used to start a spark of change.
Sometimes it's hard for me because it seems all through my ministry life (20 years+ dating back to high school ministries I've helped found) God has used me to start something and then I seem to only be able to watch it grow, but not participate.
But God is working in this selfish heart to understand that not everyone can be a match, that lighting a fire is a special calling and I need to be thankful to be used in it at all.
What has started these sparks? Seems it's been some words God's laid on my heart and a couple books.
Here are the books and believe me when I tell you - these say it much better than I could ever do.
Irresistible Revolution if this does not stir your heart - I'm not sure anything will.
The Way of Jesus This is the book that made me understand church in a different way, a simpler way a communal way.
I trust you may find either one of these as stirring as I and others have.
