Apart from abiding in Christ and allowing Him to transform our lives from the inside out we will have no eternal impact for the Kingdom of God. This ministry is focused on equipping and encouraging the body of Christ to develop a relationship with God that is life changing and abundant. Our vision is to equip ministers, leadership teams, parents and students to experience true heart transformation rather than settling for a life of endless striving for outward behavior modification. This process is a journey of abiding, serving and multiplying in Christ for God’s Kingdom.

“Chad’s relationship with God is one that’s intimate. Honest. Real. As a follower of Christ who has traveled a little farther down the journey into pressing in and knowing God, Chad’s ministry is simply this: he teaches others what he has learned about His Savior and Friend and His Truth along the way. Chad recognizes that God’s kingdom comes to earth when, and only when, we are turning our hearts toward Him. I’ve known Chad since I was born, and like the students he shares with, I’ve learned quite a bit from my big brother in the Lord.”

After launching three churches, and working with numerous church plants, I understand that church starters hit a wall of weariness at the end of the second year. It’s a dangerous time for that leader and he needs to refocus.

By the fall of 2008 I had launched my third church. The ministry field was difficult and by late summer of 2009 I needed help. I began to pray and God brought Chad Hambrick to my church as a consultant with “the abiding journey” in December.

Chad began with weekly meetings in which he listened to me and encouraged me to refocus on abiding, serving and multiplying. He guided me on my spiritual journey and to rethink my philosophy of ministry. He connected people and resources from his network to a new church with limited funds and directed some of our events and activities. I took his advice and his assignments seriously and implemented his suggestions on a weekly basis.

It’s now summer of 2010 and we’re experiencing fruit from the refocus. We’re on track to make disciples that will operate from the overflow and not their reserve. Chad didn’t change my church, he helped me return to my first love while planting a church in a difficult place.
