Cell Church Paradigm part 1

I have been reading on the Cell Church Paradigm for the last several years. Recently, I have been really honing in on whether it can be effective in this part of Illinois.
Last month in June I went to a Cell Church Symposium in Waco, Texas. I went in order to get a better grasp of cell churches. There were cell pastors from all over the world with massive churches. I believe the Pastor from the Ivory Coast in North Africa had over one hundred thousand in his congregation. There were other churches with numbers such as this.
I went to the conference with one main question on my mind: "Can this be as effective in the U.S?" They had a couple of churches that were represented there that were from the southern parts of the U.S. They seemed to be growing very well. I spoke with some of the people at the conference that were involved in cell type churches in the U.S. To my dismay, most of these churches were made up of "churched" people or transplants from other churches. Needless to say, this made me suspicious of those other churches in the South that seem to have big numbers. Transfer growth to me is not real and it is not something that is shown in the outside countries
The leader of the conference Ralph Neighbor (sometimes known as the father of the Cell Church Revolution) convened this meeting with a particular focus in mind. The focus was to ask the question, "what is the Spirit saying to the end time churches." The Christian movement in the U.S. is in some serious trouble. Also, by the way things look, we will be in for some more trouble. The thing that seemed to come forward during the conference through everything spoken is that the people in the churches of the U.S. are too much alive. They need to die...American Christianity is far too comfortable to bring the move of God into our country.
As I write this I think of the stories of living sacrifices that God used like George Elliot, William Carey, Hudson Taylor, George Whitfield, George Mueller, the Moravians and others. Pastor Dion Rober of the North African church spoke about the church being both a family and an army. He would organize it like an army ready to do battle against the enemy. Every significant work for the Lord requires that we first carry our cross.
I am very comfortable in my church. We are quite comfortable. Thats the problem. I have noticed in my experience that when everyone is working and almost to the point of burn out that God grows the church. People come to Christ, workers are empowered, new leaders are trained. The devil attacks. There are fights and squabbles along the way. It is messy. We are so afraid of burning out. So we stay safe and comfortable and do what is easy. No one is reached. I don't want to be uncomfortable, but I know that if I don't get out of my comfort zone nothing will happen!
