Cadre - 29 States Down 21 To Go

The Cadre - Jeanne's mentoring program for youth pastors - is off the hook. I believe within the next three years, we will have every state represented. This year wasn't bad, the records show 116 youth pastors from 29 different states are represented. The surprise came from the show from California. While it's a largly populated state ... it's a gazillion miles away ... ok, maybe not a gazillion, but it feels that way when you sit in the middle seat on a sold out plane.

Oklahoma came in at number one with twelve. What in the world is in Oklahoma? I didn't know 12 people lived there ... but, oh wait, that's where the infamous Adam Barnett is from. Adam, you almost fell from favor today when you were late getting on the conference call ... but loved that you got on just in time. You are truly amazing and one of the coolest of the cool.

My friend, simply to be on your radar is a blessing, but to have "FAVOR" is a completely new animal. And you can bet your last dollar I wouldn't miss a call that you and Jeanne are a part of.

Thanks for the shout-out, friend! And FYI - your shout out is coming on adambarnett.typepad.com, but I'm going to need a good amount of time to sit and write about all the reasons you're on my hero list.

Miss ya! And I need more info soon on the other Cadre advance because I will unfortunately (but fortunately) be in Nicaragua for ministry March 15-22, during our Advance. Holla...
