			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<blockquote>
<h3>It has long been my God given agenda to <strong>create or cultivate </strong><em>Community </em>centered on Christ.</h3>
</blockquote>
<p>My heart is compelled by Community. Community is where lives are transformed and rendered anew. <span style="font-weight: normal;">It&#8217;s where the TEACHINGS of Gods word meets the application into daily life. It&#8217;s where the Spirit of God manifest and showcases itself to the world. It is the CITY on a Hill, or a light shining into darkness. It is what God first created when He formed MAN and WOMAN. It was the only reason why Christ died and i</span><span style="font-weight: normal;">t is the only way for His Kingdom to come.</span></p>
<p>I am living this out today first and foremost by BEING in community. The Church is comprised of the PEOPLE not the banner or logo of its establishment.. but the blood and tears shared in the <em>brokenness</em> of man. I belong to a community I call <a href="http://klampert.com/2010/01/15/leadership-training-comes-from-honesty" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/klampert.com/2010/01/15/leadership-training-comes-from-honesty?referer=');">the Forge</a>.. which is a band of <em>misfit, Christ driven, over-achievers</em> with a desire to live out AUTHENTIC faith.</p>
<p><strong><span style="font-weight: normal;">I have also had the privilege of  forming a leadership development group in my church called <a href="http://rantsofabeggar.com/roots" target="_blank">Roots</a>.  The focus and intention of Roots, is to equip men to equip others. (<a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2%20Timothy%202:2&amp;version=NLT" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2_20Timothy_202_2_amp_version=NLT&amp;referer=');">2 Tim 2:2</a>). By focusing on discipling MEN, you create a catalyst of change within the Family, which subsequently revives the COMMUNITY that harbor them. </span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-weight: normal;">I have been so blessed with the experience and tools God has equipped me with to fulfill this <em>Calling</em> placed on my life. Even to the extent of being recently engaged to a beautiful woman, in which I will be able to share community with in the home. </span></strong></p>
<p>MY entire being is wrapped into this..<br />
It&#8217;s who God made me.. It&#8217;s why I&#8217;m here.. &amp; It&#8217;s what I&#8217;m all about.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have been praying about moving forward with a <a href="http://rantsofabeggar.com/2009/11/developing-leaders/">Leadership Development</a> process in <a href="http://efcnewport.com" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/efcnewport.com?referer=');">my church</a> recently.<br />
I&#8217;m calling it &#8220;Roots&#8221; which is a campaign designed on bringing people from the fringe, into the core.</p>
<p>The heart of this campaign is to change the spiritual climate, by developing people that can model spiritual growth and foster that change in others.</p>
<p>In order to impact the &#8220;body&#8221; as a whole, change must be fostered through a core of people that model it. Change cannot be forced or manufactured by programs or processes.</p>
<p>It must simply take <em>Root</em> in the heart of men and spur on the heart of others&#8230;</p>
