Healthy congregations are more able to meet challenges and adapt to changes.
Healthy congregations minister with their members instead of around them. You may want to read To Dream Again by William G. Dyer's. Add the number of days in a year, and subtract 615. If you have questions that you would like me to answer in a future Barnabas Letter please send them to me via my e-mail address. I will always attempt to give a prayerful and Bible answer.
