Mel & Jacqueline Isara (21 MB, 6:35)
Pearl City, Hawaii
Mel Isara: "I know that conventional wisdom is you don't tell the people the pastor is leaving because they might feel insecure. But I wanted them to have a mindset that nothing is permanent like that. That this is the way a church is raised up. Whether I am pastoring or someone else pastors, there needs to be other people to raise up and carry the church."
Juan & Tracy Galloway (16.6 MB, 7:35)
Elizabeth, N.J.
Juan Galloway: "When people walk through the door, they could die. If they don't find Jesus... they're not going to live much longer... but the cool thing is, they're finding God, they're finding Jesus."

Pete & Cami Akins (19.2 MB, 11:26)
Cedar City, Utah
Pete Akins: "Really the bottom line reason why I ended up going into ministry is because I felt like, 'Well at least church would be fun for the people who I pastor.'"
Shannon & Mike Kearney (20.6 MB, 12:19)
Eugene, Ore.
Shannon Kearney: "I've never had to trust the Lord like He is having me trust Him. And that's challenging because until He shows up, it's just all about faith and trust. That's all it is. And then when He shows up, you're in awe because you didn't know Jesus could be that big. And He has never ever failed me one single time in this entire year."
