Dr. Charles "Chip" Arn, the President of Church Growth Inc, gave a wonderful presentation on church growth during our Regional Learning Center at Camp Kuratli in Boring Oregon.
Dr. Arn's message was simple, and yet profound: Discipleship is the root to church growth! Discipleship was Christ's mandate to his church. The first century Christians discipled thier people--their household, their 'oikas,' and a domino effect took place. People came to know the Lord and the church grew!
How do we evangelize in an effective way? Simple, be Christ to others! Love people and you'll earn the right to point them to Jesus!
We praise God for our Leaders who made this possible for us! Major Linda Mandhart who heads our Territorial Headquarters' Extensive Learning Department, coordinated this wonderful and much needed event.
God bless The Salvation Army as it wins people to Christ!
