Pastor Mark spent the month of August in Australia, part holiday with his family and part preaching frenzy. The campus pastors and some others (like myself) preached in his stead, teaching from the book of Jonah. It was a great series at each of our campuses; each pastor articulated the local mission and God's heart for those that don't yet know him. It's extremely encouraging and exciting for me to see God raising up many men to use their gifts and grow in the area of preaching. I've got a long list of reasons why I like the multi-campus approach for Mars Hill as a means to continue growing and reaching more people for Jesus. Seeing an army of Bible preachers develop definitely ranks high on that list. For those of you interested in preaching, check out this message by Pastor Mark from the Text and Context Conference.
