I hope that I am aware of the needs of others. Our church is responsible for a ministry in Haiti where there are many needs, and some that money won't fix. But the simple question I asked about "campus pastor" has certainly shown me that with some, results can come without responsiblity.
1 Peter 3:15 15But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:

I think you asked a good question and did so in a good spirit. Others, however were either a little too boisterous in their fun or were unfairly attacking someone doing a good work. Your excellent question seems to have gotten lost in the shuffle.

I can't answer for Sherri's specific circumstances, but from what I have observed she and her husband's ministry has been starting a large number of daughter works around the state, in other states and even around the world. Of course their goal is for each work to be self sufficient and self sustaining and even self-reproducing. But there is the great need of training new ministers for those works. So, as new ministers are being trained - and to make sure everyone is on the same page doctrinally, and so forth - they are sending video feeds to some of the daughter works.

I tried to show a parallel in what they are doing with the work that Paul was doing in Crete as described in the Epistle to Titus. Lacking any technology like a video feed, Paul was instead sending Titus personally to train and equip the "daughter" works on the island of Crete.

The etymology of the word "campus" itself means a place of training. I thought that by calling them "campus pastors" Sherri wasn't just being trendy and cool, but was disclosing the real nature of the work going on; training and discipleship.

News flash - the word "oneness" is not in the Bible either.:sshhh

Sister Sherri I'm sorry, I didn't know it was something new?

I don't use the term Oneness because for me it means a group of things that are unified. I use the term One GOD.

Pastoring a church extention, please explain this concept.

[Sister Alvear]

church extention...I am not Sherri but lots of churches have church extentions...jail ministry, old folks homes ministry, hospital ministry and on and on. Reach as many as you can before it is too late...

"results without responsibility?" I wonder what is meant by this statement...

The bigger the outreach the greater the responsibility...

[Sister Alvear]

I don´t think the Lord ever meant for us to keep polishing the same 40 and never add to the church...the early church grew daily...
Peter´s shadow would have been called a charismatic outreach by some!
Go ye into all the world...It must burn in our hearts like a flame...

I just consider it a new work under the covering of the mother church. Eddie oversees all the daughter works that are under Love and Truth Ministries.

I guess you would call what's written below what you learned at Dale Carnegie?

Really I was at a loss to understand why you felt to present a history lesson when all you needed to do was explain the term as Sister Sherri did.

I thought what you presented was not pertaining to the discussion, so I wanted you to explain further. You took offence, and you retaliated. No problem. You will wake up and go to work tomorrow, and so will I. You will also not think about our discussion during the day so the affect to your life will be minimum. I will no longer post to you, feel better?

Are you feeling better? Did the above make everything allright?

Now you're ranting, so shouldn't it be you who should seek a sedative?

Here's the point where you're rambling and you are now taking it personal.
Do you get angry at computer screens a lot? Do your co-workers stair at you when you bite your lip as you type? Think maybe it's time to push back the key board and take it easy? Listen Pelathais, I won't post to you anymore, go in peace and may the force be with you.

Sister Avear are you adressing me on "results without responsibility?"

I have never made such a comment.

Jail ministry, puppet ministry, cookie ministry, are these all under the campus pastor teaching?

How big is the Apostolic Pentecostal movement down in Brazil?
Are you converting the Christian Congregation movement and the God Is Love group? I heard those two organizations are quite large.
