Thank you for rejoicing with us as you read the ministry highlights in this report. We are all working together to build leaders and grow churches. I have asked our church ministry resource team to focus attention on churches under 100 in attendance. We are working toward healthy growth and maturity in each body of believers. Thanks, David Plake, Arlene Allen, and Ron Heitman, for the creativity flowing through your servant hearts.
Leadership development is fundamental to healthy, growing churches.
Elders and deacons serving in tandem, full of the Holy Spirit and wisdom, is prerequisite. Thank you, Gary Allen, for your work through the Leadership Training Network. It is making a difference. The HomeFront initiative is serving to address the special needs of ministry families. Let's pray for Ann Martin and the HomeFront team as they begin their second year of service.
