Jim Overholt and I received an immediate “Yes!” from the group of pastors gathered last fall, and Cedar Rapids has been moving in the Loving Our Communities to Christ (LC2C) strategy ever since. Some 32 congregations and a Christian school of 233 students have been praying for lost persons, and many congregations are reporting salvations and baptisms. A Prayer Task Force is being formed and the Care and Share task forces are planning citywide events for 2007 and 2008. I was back there after a year and interviewed 15 pastors who were all saying essentially the same thing: “I have changed. Now the church is changing.”
