Cornerstone is now one of the largest churches in Ventura County, California. In 2005, Chan was the featured speaker in a now international video called Stop And Think (JustStopAndThink.com) which went viral, landing in every state and 30+ countries. Chan frequently talks about 'What the Bible is really saying' and really living our lives that way. He is not afraid of confronting lukewarmness. On Sunday, April 18, 2010, Chan announced to his congregation that he felt called to resign at Cornerstone in Simi Valley to pursue what God had laid on his heart. As of April 2010 he stated he was not yet sure what city God had called him to, but by June 2011 stated publicly he felt called to San Francisco, CA. He moved to Northern California, and as of 2013, Chan's website said he was "working to start a church planting movement in the inner city of San Francisco and also working to launch a countrywide discipleship movement."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=about francis )〕 Chan started Eternity Bible College in 2004 as a ministry of Cornerstone Community Church with 100 students.
