Earlier today I wrote a blog post about how our staff and leadership team at Connexus thinking about ‘winning’ in ministry. Whether you’re a Yankess fan or not, it’s clear that they just won the world series. How do you know you’re winning in ministry? I want to expand on that with a few stories

We’ve been so encouraged by the reaction to our Medium series so far. This past Sunday in Barrie, we did part two of the series. As usual, we upload the message as soon as possible. We realize that means that you can watch a message online days before we feature it at our Orillia campus.
