I first saw Craig Groeschel speak at Catalyst Conference last year. He is the author of the book, Confessions of a Pastor, an innovative look at what ministry “really” looks like. Besides being an author, Craig is also the pastor from LifeChurch in Oklahoma City with many campuses in several states. He has a lot of good ideas, including one that I just heard about today that I wanted to share with you.
First of all check out his video explaining the concept.
Craig already listed some of the churches that are taking part in the project but I wanted to give you some links to these pastors and churches.

I think this is a great idea. So often we are competing as churches instead of working together to get people to come to a relationship with Jesus Christ. I think the greatest part of the project is any church can participate. The church coming together? Who would have thought.
What is your one prayer for the church?
