I think it shows that this will be a process of planning, implementing and re-evaluating--over time.<BR/><BR/>Blessings!Don Howardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09791970606732232372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-718485636343134588.post-43803894001360005652007-10-24T09:41:00.000-07:002007-10-24T09:41:00.000-07:00Hi Don,Great post!I was shocked to read about the ...Hi Don,<BR/><BR/>Great post!<BR/><BR/>I was shocked to read about the Willow Creek admission and will pass it on to our staff. But the findings I believe are right on. Furthermore, a class on discipleship isn't discipleship. It is lived out everyday. Too many come to our churches, get their fix and do nothing with their walk with Christ during the week. The next Sunday comes and nothing changes. And we wonder why??<BR/><BR/>We did the cohort process here in Bend, concluding about 18 months ago. We also found it to be a painful process. In the end it helped us to be the "best Faith Christian Center" that we can be. We're thoroughly Pentecostal, allowing manifestation gifts during services. However, we also have a target and a means of reaching out target. It makes all the difference!Mike Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09079585708879284939noreply@blogger.com
