One of the things God has been doing in The Gathering for the past couple of years is developing an incredibly gifted teaching team.  As Allan McCullough and Mike Kelsey have taught these past two weeks, I have been reminded all over again of how much God has blessed us by leading those two guys to pour so much of their lives into the college campuses of DC.  I love watching God grow both of them, I love learning from them and, I have to admit, the fact that we’re all pretty good friends makes the whole deal that much better!

People keep asking how we pull off four services in three nights – especially with Georgetown and Mason occurring at the exact same time.  The answer God has led us to is really simple – it’s going to take a team of people teaching to fulfill the vision He’s given us.  Allan and Mike are living examples that God always supplies what we need to live out the vision He’s called us to.  So, here’s the teaching line up this week:

AU: Allan

Mason:  Allan

Georgetown:  Me (see, I still do something around here!)

UMD: Mike

Can’t wait for this week.  And, I’m not going to lie – I can’t wait for the first week of November when I get to speak at AU, Mason and UMD – I miss you guys and can’t wait to be back!

Final thought:  take some time today and pray for our teaching team.  Pray that God would bless Mike, Allan and me with fresh insight for the week to come and the grace to accurately handle His Word.

See you soon,

John
