Day 2 – Purpose Driven Community Gathering

What a great day of inspiration and learning. This morning started off with Pastor Rick teaching us Part 3 of Manifesto for Renewal. Needless to say, it was powerful as we learned about our greatest responsibilities as leaders and pastors to shepherd the flock and teach the word.

Next we heard from four panels made up of pastors from the U.S. and around the world. The topics of discussions were based upon the model of Best Practices. The Best Practices we studied today were:

1. Best Practices for Global Missions – how to impact our world at home and abroad
2. Best Practices for God-honoring Worship – it’s the only thing we’ll do forever
3. Best Practices for Deepening Discipleship – we have to learn to feed ourselves
4. Best Practices for Mobilizing Members in Ministry – people are in ministry daily – we’ve just got to equip them for it

Tomorrow we will be learning about Best Practices for Engaging Business Leaders and a briefing of the P.E.A.C.E. plan. The P.E.A.C.E. plan takes on the five global giants in our world today but more on that tomorrow.

We hope you’re having a great week and we can’t wait to be back to speak to you this weekend as we begin our new series The Game Show Network. Part 1 – Jeopardy – Decisions to help you make good decisions.

Love Ya’ll,

Steve & Marylin
