WHY INVOLVE THESE PEOPLE? To secure the support of the em-powered leadership (They must support/ be part of the process) • Their presence generates congregational trust in the process. • They represent the “perceived voice” of the youth/ church. • They are leaders who influence others. • They gain ownership of the process. • They gain a sense of unity by working together. • Tells the congregation that people other than the Executive are involved in the process (not just the exec idea). • They best know the congregation -its strengths, weaknesses, traditions, etc.
WHY CONSIDER USING A CONSULTANTS? – spy mission • A consultant will provide you with the knowledge you need to turn your • situation around. (Regions that are currently not active) • A consultant will save us time and money. • People will listen to a consultant (not viewed as politically involved). • A consultant provides a fresh, objective viewpoint.

Conclusion... We dream of a church. . . Where the Gospel is the underlying theme; where grace is accepted and extended; where the salvation of souls is the norm, not the exception; where love for people springs from love for God; where joy permeates the air; where people are one in spirit; where service is considered a privilege not a burden.… where people find real help, experience real change and discover real answers; where marriages are healed and parents’ hearts are turned toward their children; where destructive lifestyles, habits, addictions and compulsions are forever jettisoned; where wasted lives are retrieved and new beginnings launched. Where God’s Word is exalted in authority, studied with expectation, taught with relevance, heard with anticipation, and obeyed with passion; where the preaching is encouraging, positive and practical.… where prayer is the under-girding and engulfing medium for all we do and for every initiative we take.… where people are free to attempt great things for God; where taking risks for his kingdom is an exalted virtue; where people have nothing to prove and therefore nothing to lose; where creativity and innovation are honored, not feared; where all kinds of people serve God in diverse ways with mutual love, encouragement, respect, and unity.… where people’s hearts beat for God’s work around the world; where impact is made on lives across the street and around the world; where short-term workers regularly go out to minister internationally and return with a world perspective.
