successstories

The congregation at Independence Christian Church had a history of struggles internally which repeatedly resulted in ministers leaving after short pastorates. The situation had arisen again, however, the changing membership rose up and demanded the minister not leave. Pastor and elders went to the Scriptures and to their knees in search of God's plan for the congregation. Collectively we were led to John Laster who accepted the challenge to work with the leaders and the congregation. He truly is a man after God's own heart and immediately faced the task before him. John has a heart for equipping leadership in churches to connect with Jesus. He correctly identified major conflicts immediately and worked tirelessly to seek Jesus on our behalf. The Senior Leadership Team was formed and has successfully followed his recommendations to identify Mission, Values, Vision, and Beliefs. John has a compassionate heart for congregations that are needing direction. John demonstrates his personal knowledge of Jesus as he coaches. He is well grounded in the scriptures and practices prayer in his personal life. My life has changed since this experience and I was privileged to have him as a guest in my home during the four day on-site sessions. Our church has a new mission and a new spirit because of his teaching "Leaders to be Leaders". John was a God chosen servant for our situation.
