Elden Stalnaker - San Antonio, TX

I had a great lunch meeting with San Antonio mover and shaker, Elden Stalnaker. He is working with some students at Trinity College to get their CSO up and running and is very keen on seeing a DiscoveryBound chapter to bless the community as well.

We spoke on a number of topics including some ideas I introduced to him when we first met after the lecture on Saturday and when we were out to lunch with a large group from 1st Church on Sunday.

He was keen to hear about the Monitor Prayer Watch project underway in New York City and I suggested a conference call with the very active CSO at Texas A&M college who meet on Tuesdays at the same time as Trinity plans to meet.

Elden runs a ministry on Lackland Air Force Base. He wakes up at 4am on Sundays to drive to the base to run a bible discussion workshop with an eager class, then comes to church to run a Sunday School class and has a CS healing practice the rest of the time. He also works with Rob and Lauren Nofsinger in Boston who are working towards becoming CS Chaplains in the US Army.

It was great to spend some time with him to brainstorm and share resources. As mentioned in the video, we came up with a theme word, or words rather, for our work in San Antonio: Omni-Action: Action in all directions and in all ways... and I suggested Meta-Action: Beyond Action. He liked that.
