A small cog in a very big wheel- General council #1

The thing that always amazes me at the Assemblies of God General Councils is how huge they are. For those of you who don’t know, this is the bi-annual business meeting for just the USAG. It is a combination of worship rallies, ministry presentations, business, elections, ministry updates, meeting old friends (some of whom I am looking for but will never see here due to the large numbers of people ), and church product presentations. The day I came in, about 19,000 people registered alone, and there were many the next day. Reading the name tags and church van signs, there are people here from many places I have never heard of-places where God is working.

We tend to forget the size of the church in the northeast, where we are few, and have little cultural influence. Events like this are good to broaden our perspective.
