It was with young adults from these two groups that we came to Aptos to pioneer our church in 1984. Even more significantly, it was during those five years of ministering to collegians and singles that two more convictions crystallized in my philosophy and approach to ministry. I resolutely believe that too few people do too much of the ministry. By not empowering and inspiring and asking the many, leaders settle for working with the few. I am bent on increasing the number of people involved in significant ministry.
Today is the acceptable day.
Life and ministry are processes. I was successful in pioneering the church in Aptos because I pioneered a group where I was at the time. Fear of failure keeps too many people from getting started at doing what God has put in their heart to do. I am an avid planner and strategist who loves to weigh the options and calculate the costs, but those considerations are preludes to action, not propositions for inaction.
