I had no idea what was about to happen to me—and to many thousands of others. What started with one task soon became a major funding initiative. One success leads to another. Whatever my team and I were doing was working. We had no coaching. We were encouraged to take risks—and the risks were paying off. The ministry I was serving with at the time was experiencing accelerated growth in many ways. I was a small part of this. I was keenly aware that if my area of responsibility was successful, more people could experience spiritual transformation. Independent of me, the ministry decided that considerably more funding was needed. Soon, a billion-dollar vision became the goal. This type of for ministry expansion had never been raised before.https://larryonan.com/----------------------------------When It Worked Podcasthttps://getoffthedamnphone.com/podcast
