2. Heart of Kansas Vision Tour 2010
Our letter to you,
At the Heart of Kansas Southern Baptist Association, our members are seeking to make disciples by helping each other to increase in health and by starting new, vibrant churches which are equipped to reach people groups and population segments with a high percentage of lostness. The key to both healthy existing churches and new vibrant churches can be found in the growing and recruiting of strong leaders and in cooperatively gathering resources to engage in healthy, reproductive ministry.
We are asking you, our sister churches, to enter this process with us. Together we can be more effective in the mentoring and training of effective leaders, resourcing healthy ministries and in starting vibrant churches. Perhaps you could be a mentor to a leader or may know someone that God could use to start a new church. Your church may be able to provide resources that will enable us to reach our community.
We only ask, as we enter this process, that you seek to discover what God is calling you to do in our area.
Thank you for your interest and time!
