The final session with Bishop Roller, and the final morning session of the conference started off with some wonderful worship songs, and an exciting presentation from the Haitians from France.
The surprise of the morning was when Bishop Roller donned a baker's apron and proceeded to talk about finding the perfect pizza crust. Of course, with parallels with growing a church.
Consider what happened in Thessaloniki. Paul helps establish a small fellowship. A riot starts and he has to leave by night. He go to Berea, but is followed and must flee to Athens. In Athens, he wonders what has happened with the small fellowship in Thessaloniki, so he sends Timothy to find out. And the report was good, the culture survived!
Paul wrote them a letter of encouragement, and acted in the role of an apostolic pastor.
1. He warmed them up (encouragement)
2. He fed them (teaching)
3. He gave them space (get out of the way and let God work)
