TC told that story a few times, he was really upset.
The church there was small, and the "ministry" was promoting "small groups" at the time. So the brother came from Texas to bring the latest "way," and divided the saints into small groups, and told them the Lord would bless them. The whole church collapsed in discouragement, and the Texan never stuck around long enough to help them.
I never saw one of those LSM programs bear fruit as promised. Many of the early reports were padded to stir morale, but that worked only for so long.
