Notes from Matthew Barnett's breakout session

LA Dream Center with Matthew Barnett

A few points about pastor Matthew

In the First six months his church went form 18 people down to 2 people. In the second six months it went from 2 people to 700.

He gained his passion from his father, because he was a friend, he never had religion shoved at him, he just gained the passion through their relationship.”

Focusing on success was his fault, he needed to focus on being used by God.

A few good quotes

“Build relationships to Build the church”

“If you go and reach the people that nobody wants God will send you the people that everybody wants”

“your always a success when you seek after the welfare of the people”

How the dream center thrives

Being a permission giving church: They give the permission to try in ministry

Being there for people by using adopt a block, inviting people to all aspects of ministry through being in the community on a constant basis.

Consistency is key, two people who take 30 doors and go there every day

Letting people do what they are good at.
