8. I will encourage the use of modern methods for identifying personal
giftedness so spiritual gifts may be recognized and used with discipling
power.
9. I will support pastoral prayer during every worship service asking God to
bless our work in "Becoming A Christ-Centered, Disciple-Making
Church."
Corresponding Blessing: We
are reminded in regular Pastoral prayer and the ongoing prayers of other
believers that our never changing mission and goal is the work of the
grandest of all causes: Becoming A Christ-Centered, Disciple-Making Church.
10. I will support and participate in the discipling ministry of a Church
Writing Group.
Corresponding Blessing: The
influence of our Church Writing Group is growing as the numbers of its
participants increases. Discipling thousands with every letter to the
editor, book review, and guest editorial is truly a rewarding investment
of my love. A beautiful change is occurring in our local newspaper where
inspiring stories of answered prayer, victories of faith, and the goodness
of God are replacing the anguish of evil, violence, corruption, greed and
immorality.
11. I will support the formation of a group from our congregation to study
and perform the necessary work to provide services and sustenance for
the needy. As government downsizes the role in welfare by turning this
responsibility over to the private sector, congregations are mandated by
Jesus Christ to come forward and obediently fill this gap. Momentous
discipling opportunities exist in this expression of Christ's love.
Corresponding Blessing: As
our congregation develops effective, organized efforts to serve the poor,
eliminate the welfare rolls, provide mentoring assistance to the addicted,
training guidance to the jobless, comfort and hope to the prisoners, and
compassion for all those Jesus loved and served, we are always engaged in
making disciples by teaching the need for understanding and obedience to
the commandments of Jesus.
12. I will continuously promote and encourage each believer to honor the
Kingdom-building principle of EACH ONE, BRING ONE, EACH YEAR.
Corresponding Blessing: As
our congregation focuses on our central mission and we are working in
biblical unity and love, each individual and family becomes committed to
the inspiring and fruitful work defined in the Kingdom-building principle
of EACH ONE, BRING ONE, EACH YEAR.
