The Early Bird Deadline to apply for my new Senior Pastor Tele-Coaching Network is TOMORROW at midnight, so I wanted to post a reminder for you to submit your app today or tomorrow to Save $600.00 and Receive Over $645.00 in Additional Bonuses.

And all the Early Bird Bonuses are in addition to the real benefit of the coaching itself!

As I was getting ready to type up this post, I remembered a powerful email I received just last week from Bob, a two-time Coaching Alumni.

Bob is a 55-year old Senior Pastor from a small town who’s about to return for his third round in the network and he gave me permission to share his email with you today.

If you’re wondering what kind of results you might experience in my coaching network (both personally and in your church), check out what Bob had to say:

Nelson,

I am not sure I can put into words how I feel about my experience in your Coaching Network.

I know that your time is limited so I will try to be brief and to the point.

When I joined the Network I was not in a good place.  I was depleted, spent, and at a  personal growth standstill.  I can’t blame anyone, or any circumstance.  I was 10 years into the church that I had planted and we had seen some very good days but we had leveled off and to be honest, were beginning to decline.

I believe by God’s grace and goodness that Church Leader Insights came across my eyes and heart at just the right time.  If God was ever obviously sovereign in my life, it was sure then.

Before planting my church, I had a four-plus year stretch of pure misery.  I had accepted the pastorate of a ‘plum’ church and after nearly 5 years had all I could take and stepped out of the ministry.  Just a few weeks later my denomination asked me to plant a church.  Looking back, I probably was not ready to assume that mantle of spiritual leadership.  To make a long story short, what our family experienced in those years was deeply painful.  I was embittered, but disguised it with a smile and launched into my new assignment with vigor.

When I submitted my application for my first round of coaching, I had just released the bitterness that I had truly thought I had years prior.  You can’t ignore scars, but you don’t have to pick at them.  In the Lord’s goodness and patience, I forgave offenses, and God’s grace flooded my soul, my marriage and church.  At that time, my elders and folk knew that God was at work in me.  At that time, I committed to the Coaching Network as well, at my own expense.  It was that important to me.

Fast forward to the condition of where Bob’s church is now:

What has happened in this small county seat town of less than 3,000 is amazing!  I just transplanted the Systems Mentality here… in a traditional setting in every sense of the word, and BOOM!  Attendance shot up from 125 to 200.  Baptisms quadrupled and then some.

We had traditional Sunday Morning Sunday School,  which have now been eclipsed by Semester-based Small Groups in attendance and participation.  Guess what?  My folk are so juiced up that Sunday Night Worship is a memory and Growth Groups have become the staple.  Way cool.  Our Big Days have been explosive! 

In a static to declining community (we are the 15th poorest county in the nation), our first Christmas Offering went from 11K to $19,400K in my first December.  Most recent Christmas Offering climbed to $23,600K!  Budget Offerings have increased from $360K to $384K in just 18 months.  The Stewardship System works!

Your Coaching did not just teach me Systems…  It revived my spirit.

I have signed up for Round 3 and am ready to rock.

Thanks for being invested in me.  If I can return the favor, I certainly want to.

Beyond Grateful,

Bob

Wow!  What an amazing testimony of how God is at work in Bob’s life, in his church and in his community.  I’m humbled that – for whatever reason – He has chosen to work in such a powerful way through my Coaching Networks.

I can’t say that I completely understand it, but the results don’t lie – the average church in my network experiences a 30% increase in attendance and a 25% increase in offerings within a year of the network.

So, let me ask you: How could God maximize your leadership and grow your church if you and I partnered together for the next 12 months (starting February 23) in this new Tele-Coaching Network?
