An excerpt from our district superintendent, Steve Babby's, report to our annual district conference on July 9th:

"Although more attention has been given to our pastors in spiritual and leadership development, fewer of our churches showed growth than in previous years.  This is very perplexing!    This is not an issue isolated to our district - it is one that is showing up thourght evangelical Christian churches [according a Southern Baptist denomination major study]....

Our ministries are good at continuing to do business as usual. What is needed is our hearts broken to see individuals in our communities come to know Jesus Christ as Savior. Our passion and desire should be: A spiritual awakening in our communities, our churches, and our nation."

To that end let us....

1. Pray for spiritual hunger
2. Read carefully a chapter or portion in the New Testament
3. SHARE with the group ("reply to all") your thoughts on on Dr. Babby's comments. Do you agree? What is God laying on your heart?

    I can plod. I can persevere in any definite pursuit. To this I owe everything.
