Wakefield is in the midst of change. Our Missions Committee is hard at work developing our first ever missions policy. It is hard to imagine that Wakefield, with over 80 missionaries supported, has never had a policy. Soon though we will have one. I say soon, but I doubt it will be sooner than January 2009. However, after over a 100 years without, 2009 will seem soon.Next month Oren and Gordon will go with me to Heritage Baptist Church in Lynchburg VA for training. I am certain that this training will be of value.
Please pray for the missions committee as they continue in this valuable task.
Also, the elders of Wakefield recently met to begin plotting a course for the future of our church. All agree that although many attend faithfully, Wakefield must increase its efforts in making disciples. The men all felt that we must be intentional in moving people toward greater levels of maturity and service. We just scratched the surface, but will meet again in May to move further ahead in our planning.
Please pray for God's guidance in this area. We long to see people grow in a greater love for and understanding of Jesus.
-Mark
