It only took God a week to do it. It has taken me about six weeks to notice what He did.

But, look at what the Lord has done!

Six weeks ago, there were very few house churches in the LCMS. Now there are tens of thousands. What will we do with that?

Six weeks ago, children and youth ministers longed for parents to be more hands-on with their child's spiritual formation. Now it's happening. What will we do with that?

Six weeks ago, "the Church has left the building" was only a slogan. Now it's happened. What will we do with that?

500 years ago, Luther pointed out that every home is a church and every head of household is a pastor. Now it’s finally happening. What will we do with that?

Look what God has done! In only a week, He accelerated and began multiplying what the U.S. church has been unable or unwilling to do for decades. This is the multiplication action that has eluded our multiplication dreaming. And now, after six weeks, it’s impossible to miss.
