Some good observations. Evangelists always seem to be a one-man show for sure. However, I do believe that the church is not well served by 'lone rangers' who are unaccountable to anyone or under some sort of leadership covering or organization. Thanks for your insights Carl.

I don’t see Grady’s column written by a presbytery. Is his column a one man show? Is this blog a one man show? No, they are jobs and ministries. Todd has a healing anointing. He had healing meetings. If people did not like that they should ask God why others did not walk in the same anointing.

The greatest disappointment to me was that it remained a one-man show that fell apart when the one man fell. I had hoped that it would just be the beginning of a move…
