I recommend that anyone who has time go to the Assemblies of God website (www.ag.org) and find a series of videos of Gen'l Sup't George Wood called Conversations with Dr. George Wood. These videos, about 20 minutes each show a conversation between Dr. Wood and someone with a great story. Most are pastors who have non-typical ministries. I haven't watched all of them yet, but I have been inspired by each of them.
There are so many ways to have church these days and each of them are effective if they are done in obedience to God's call and direction. I am blessed by Dr. Wood's attitude that these differences are not just to be embraced, he sees them as critical to the survival of the church. I love to see him celebrate church planters, church revitalizers, non-traditional pastors and people who minister effectively even outside of the A/G. This attitude from our highest level of leadership is an example to us all to see beyond our preferences and reach out to all who are proclaiming the Good News.
