Every year God sends more people to COMMUNITY than the year before. Every Easter God has been kind enough to trust us with more people than the year before. This year for the first time we had more than 10,000 people that celebrated Easter at COMMUNITY. Because of personal invitations to friends, family, neighbors and co-workers we had 10,319 people attend at one of our COMMUNITY campuses on Easter weekend. The following is a graph that shows our Easter attendance every year since we started COMMUNITY.
I know numbers aren't everything and I try to keep it in perspective. However, I also know that each of those numbers represent a person. Each one is a person who God dearly loves. And everyone of those 10,319 are people he wants to find their way back to Him.
Hey Dave, Just wondering . . . do you think those of us who weren't able to get to Exponential 2011 will be able to watch Francis Chan's talk from this year's conference online? Noticed you guys have made the other years available, but haven't put his 2011 talk up any where. I'm dying to watch his 2011 talk.

Hi Jason, Some how I overlooked your comment. My bad. Keep checking the Exponential Conference website we should have audio and video of all the main sessions available soon.

It's true that numbers aren't everything, but they do represent the amount of influence you are having in your community. Congratulations on increasing your influence. It is a good sign that you are going the right direction!
