"The challenges facing congregations are great. What we are hoping to do is to provide ongoing support to these local churches so that they can flourish. One problem, one challenge at a time."
David S. Han, PhD
Executive Director, PTS Flourish
"I'm not aware of any other project that is designed to be germaine to the specific needs of specific congregations. I can't see how any local church would not want to connect with something like this."
Linwood Dillard

Brian Sutton

"Coming together with pastoral leadership and lay leaders, building this covenant partnership...that collaborative community connection is so valuable."
Sean O'Neal
International Evangelism Director, Church of God
"I learned that if, when dealing with and raising up leaders while looking to the harvest, we focus on what people will "do," then we are only building a business. But if we focus on who they become, things get done and people grow simultaneously."
Participating pastor
"The most impactful moments were being able to talk with the other pastors at my table, to build relationships I didn't have before and be able to speak into their lives and share what I've experienced and help them, as well as others being able to share and speak into my life."
Participating pastor
"What I came away with was very simple but profoundly deep... The church is not my church, it is God's, which means it has to succeed."
Participating pastor
"The conference was a monumental shift in my short pastoral ministry, providing multiple life-changing "aha" moments. One particular moment that I will never forget was from the "Shaping Our Discussion" session. "If the harvest that we prayed for arrived, it would mold on the floor." This will have a lasting impact on two things: The way I work toward leading others, and the way I gauge success."
