From the Director's Heart

                                     

CBA Churches Covering Communities with the Gospel…

     GPS, God’s Plan for Sharing.  For several months we have
been promoting, emphasizing, enlisting churches, training our
churches, and rallying around this evangelism initiative.

     The associational evangelism committee set forth three core
values for our approach to doing GPS:

1) Kingdom Minded – It must be about expanding the Kingdom
     of God, beyond the borders of the local church.
2)  Get the Gospel to Every Home – this is literally making sure
     that every household in our communities receive a gospel witness.
3)   Bring People to Christ – to see people repent of sin, place their
      faith in Jesus and receive the gift of eternal life.

The over-arching goal of GPS is to increase the population of Heaven
and decrease the population of Hell.

     The response of our churches to GPS has been overwhelming. 
Our pastors and people have come together in an unprecedented
fashion of cooperation, partnership, and support for the purpose of
“covering our communities with the gospel.”

     Just imagine…the influence of GPS as we pray collectively and
                             individually for every household in our communities. 
     Just imagine…the impact of every household in our communities
                            receiving a gospel witness.
     Just imagine…all our churches reaping a harvest in coming days.

     Wow!  This will absolutely transform our churches and radically
change our communities!  If we will be faithful to do our part, God in
his wonderful time and way will bring the Harvest.  

                                     Serving together for the Harvest,    

                                     Bro. Wendell
