A young man stranded in Kabul told the missionary who'd spent weeks with him: "I really like your Jesus, but I can't stand you."

That line has stayed with Marko for years — and it gets at a potentially uncomfortable reality. The lack of harvest in our cities may not be from a lack of care or vision. It may be because we never stopped to ask what we needed to become.

I need to tell you about something that shook me during our last gathering in our city.

What shook me was not someone sharing a revolutionary new strategy, but because I finally saw what was already there.

God has an army. The army is not made up of pastors, professors or theologians, but it is filled with ordinary people … like every single one of us.
