The City Impact Roundtable of June 1st was
successful and strategic!
More than 50 Christian leaders from across Chicagoland were in serious
conversation and prayer from 9am to 3pm. We were graciously hosted by Apostle
Daryl O’Neil, along with Elder Helen and Pastor Elton from Crusaders West in
Naperville.
I hope our Action Plans and observations (below) encourage you!
The time is right to ask several colleagues to hold October 19th (see Action
Plans below).
God is at work. Let’s partner with one another as we join Him,
Phil

Observations
Lots of people from Arts and Dance
Movement but no breakthrough
Lots of ministries but not connection
We have same heart from God but very different gifts
Local ministries are not held in high regard – this is working against us
Implications
We need to keep working
More often, different places
God is doing a lot, may need to rearrange our priorities
Time for one to one – be deliberate
Need: Resources, Leadership, finances
Insecurity may be preventing us from moving where God wants us to go
We are busy (good) but we are busy (bad)
