Influence
This week, all of us on staff at Buckhead Church and North Point Ministries joined together to host over 1,500 church leaders from around the world.
It was an amazing three days. The work our staff put in and the level of attention to detail were extraordinary. (We even had a dodge ball tournament!) I wish you could have been there to see it all.
The reason I wanted to share this with the Buckhead blog community is because of the comments I kept hearing from other church leaders. They told me over and over again about the encouragement and inspiration they receive from watching what God is doing through all of you. A team from Michigan told me this. So did one from the Philippines, as did a team from Charlotte, one from Oregon, on and on and on.
Please never lose sight of the fact that God has chosen to use what you do at Buckhead, North Point and Browns Bridge to influence and encourage other church leaders. So, this Sunday, when you show up to serve and lead, please know your influence extends way beyond Buckhead.
Way beyond.
Grateful,
Jeff

Hate I missed it this year! I’m starting to save right now. Hopefully, I can afford to make it next year. Money’s tight, but Drive 2010 is gonna be tighter! HAHA! :)

Jeff and Staff,
This was my first year to come and we brought 12 folks with us. Four of the 12 were young believers and had never seen anything of this scale before. All I heard in our de-briefing times was WOW!
Thanks for all the hard work, the friendly smiles and awesome stuff. You guys have really thought through a ton and were a huge encourage to this Church Planter and his team. We will be back next year with new faces.

I was privileged to attend DRIVE for the first time this year and it was amazing. Thank you so much for giving of your time and energy! I am still processing all the things that we learned. The breakout sessions were incredibly helpful and the main sessions spoke to our team at so many levels. We are looking at launching a second campus in April of 2010 and we want our team to look like you all! Thank you for the great example you set -
