G3 Summit

G3 is hosted by Highlands Fellowship Church in Abingdon, VA. G3 stands for "the Global Glory of God." The church brings in pastors from around the world to train them to reach their community for Christ. This time they had 35 pastors attend. There goal is train someone from every country in the world, and they are well on their way.

Highlands Fellowship Church is in a small, rural community. The church literally sits in a corn field. But they are doing amazing things to spread the Gospel through something called The PEACE Plan. Not only do they bring leaders to them but they send team into remote villages. Right now they are working in three areas and take three teams a year into each of those areas.
They've developed a great plan where they help a village drill a well, develop solar hot water and solar cooking. They have also designed a system for taking cow manure and turing it into two forms of gas that will power a cook stove and a gas powered generator.

The goal is to work with the villages in the spirit of love. When someone asks them "why do you do this?" that's their opportunity to share with them the love of Christ.

There Pastor had a vision for this when one day he says he realized that "esus actually mean the Great Commission. That we really are to 'go into to the world'."

From hearing Brian describe how they made all that stuff, it sounded like the coolest thing I've heard about in a long time. I might have to plan a stop at that church on my way to or from vacation this summer!
