A LINE FROM DANNY
Welcome to the wonderful world of church growth. No one ever said it would be easy. But I am amazed to see what happens when a church begins to love each other -- spilling over into the community. A lost and dying world is in desperate need of God’s love. Don’t let an opportunity pass ... a divine encounter slip by ... or a life changing moment be missed to tell people that because of Christ you love them. Get 12 people in your church to do that daily and you will begin to see fruits of growth manifested.
A “special welcome” to all our United Methodist friends who have recently subscribed to this newsletter. Any assistance I and Framework Ministries can be to you, please don’t hesitate to email or call me. God bless you in your ministry.
This newsletter issue contains some helpful info. Please consider taking the time to read the selected articles. Also, take advantage of the free offers.
