Churching Men
Local Assembly
In the business world, an organization seeks to have 50% of its revenues come from young (less than 2 years old) products. The new products fuel growth in market share, customer base and additional innovation. A leader and organization with these sorts of results is usually envied by competitors and favored by the owners and investors.
Our churches and ministries could profit from this approach. We can and should fill our pews with newly converted men. A church that grows through new converts attracts the attention of the community, expands its ability to further evangelize, and fulfills its God-given mission and commission. A Christian leader who makes Godly men of unbelievers will always be favored by men and God.
It takes time, talent, and treasure to create a new Adullam where you are. Losers and castaways will gather at the door, seeking the salt and light of the Gospel for their hurting souls. As Christian leaders, it is our mission and mandate to make saints and champions through the power of the Holy Spirit.
