Before I show you two great videos from last year's THE NINES, let me mention our upcoming Recovery Conference in just a few weeks. www.recoveryconference2010.com will get you there.
In fact, I will highlight another speaker tomorrow in a look back from THE NINES, will be speaking during the Conference.
Click over here to see all the great speakers and workshop leaders who will help your church think through the keys to building and sustaining a good Recovery Ministry.
Here is the first one - Jorge Acevedo. Jorge pastors in South Florida and is a great speaker and leader.
In this segment he shares some of the story about their ministry there. Some highlights:
"My prayer was “Lord send us the people no one else wants.” People in our church are hardworking, blue collar people. But we didn’t have safe places, safe spaces, safe people and safe processes to help people grow."
"We now have 800-1000 people a week being helped through recovery."
"I think spiritual malpractice is offering Jesus as the healer but not offering the safe places, safe spaces, safe people and safe processes for people to heal."
Listen to the rest of it on the video.
Don't you love Jorge's heart and passion? God give us more leaders like that.
I hope many of you make it out to RecoveryConference2010.com to hear him and all the other great leaders.
And while you are at it - sign up for the FREE Aha! Conference, our next big online experience right on the Aha! web site.
