January, 2007


Can you name the two greatest issues impacting TCMBA churches as they attempt to fulfill the vision God has given them?  I suspect you will get at least one of the two if not both.  But just so you can be sure you guessed correctly, I will give them to you: evangelism and leadership development.   The majority of TCMBA churches have identified these as the top issues they face in accomplishing their vision.  Most churches that named another concern as the top issue, still included evangelism and leadership development as number two and three.

How will your church address these issues in 2007?  They are worthy of significant priority and attention.  Do they have the level of priority in your plans and activities they should have?  With the multitude of urgent matters that fight for our time and attention, it is difficult to keep these two concerns at the level of priority they need.  That is why we need to work together in addressing these concerns.  We need the encouragement of others helping to keep these at the forefront of our thinking.  We need to take advantage of the fellowships and other gatherings that give attention to these topics and keep fresh ideas before us.  And we need someone to come alongside us and coach us to help keep these where they need to be among our priorities.

I want to encourage you in this new year to resolve to avail yourself of the opportunities to join with other leaders in the association for gatherings and events that will enhance your ministry.
