I had a great time on Wednesday meeting with three pastors from the Anaheim area- an Anglo, Guatemalan and Filipino. They are hoping to merge their three congregations into one in the fall. They made the drive to San Diego to explore how we do things.
One of the greatest things we can pass on to others is what doesn’t work. I was able to share some of the things we tried that didn’t go as we planned and some of the areas where we are still struggling. We will continually be refining how we do multi-ethnic ministry.
It is easy to hide behind a facade that leaves the impression that we don’t make mistakes and have it all figured out. Unfortunately, it isn’t true for any of us. Our honesty in sharing failures makes us more credible when we share successes.
