The Importance of Community Gatherings
Creating informal spaces for conversations among pastors and community members is essential for fostering relationships and collaboration. The upcoming national gathering, referred to as a 'bonfire gathering,' aims to bring together individuals engaged in ministry to share experiences and learn from one another’s insights. Such gatherings allow those who typically do not have a platform to voice their experiences to connect and process the work of the Spirit within their communities. By focusing on shared experiences rather than expert-led discussions, the organizers emphasize that meaningful learning is rooted in personal interactions.
