Sharing the Gospel to Get Results
This past Sunday our church enjoyed having Barney Kinard visit as our guest speaker. Barney is a former children’s pastor, 50 year veteran children’s evangelist, and Kidology Coach. We celebrated 26 children making decisions for Christ on Sunday.
Guiding children to making this life-altering decision doesn’t happen by mistake. It requires intentionality, creativity, skill, and a sense of purpose.
Let me share with you several observations I made on Sunday as I watched Barney “do his thing” that he has been doing for years: developing presentations that create results.
Read all ten observations I made.

7 Characteristics of a Healthy Leader
 Are you a wise and spirit-filled leader? In this article, Craig Jutila walks us through Ephesians 5 and points out the 7 characteristics that Paul recommends in order to be the leaders God intends us to be.
"As I was reading in Ephesians it hit me: there are 7 characteristics that Paul writes about in chapter 5 verses 15-21 that describe the 'wise' person and the 'spirit-filled' person.
The chapter headings in my Bible for Ephesians 5... says 'Be Imitators of God.' The chapter heading in one of the 11 Bibles I have on my computer says 'Living In The Light.'
Being 'wise,' 'spirit-filled,' 'imitators of God,' and 'living in the light' are certainly great reminders for healthy leaders."

Do you ever have trouble finding volunteers? It's a real struggle, and one that many in CM leadership face:
On Sunday mornings I have a great amount of committed volunteers, but when it comes to Wednesday nights I cannot get volunteers! I have been reaching out in the church, personally asking people, and asking for them to only serve one Wednesday a month so that it is not such a big commitment. But I have not had any one say yes...
Have you gone through this trial and come out successful on the other side?
