Introduction

7Welcome to Engaging God's Mission!

You did it!  You’re in!  And I couldn’t be happier!
 
The fact that you opted in to this course tells me a couple of things about you:
  • First, it tells me that you have felt the difficulty of ministry leadership in our changing world.  You have struggled with perhaps declining attendance, a tighter budget, and ministry programs that used to work but don't anymore.  And you're trying to figure out what to do about it.
  • Second, you care about the mission of God.  You want to help you church faithfully be the presence of Jesus in your communities, bringing the healing and wholeness of God to those who need it.
 
I'm so excited you're here and I'm so grateful to get to work with you over the next 7 weeks.  I hope you're excited, too!  If you are, please allow me to welcome you more personally in the video below.
