NEEDED: More Fishing Lines in the Water

Posted by Bob Fetherlin , 08 August 2007 -

· 813 views

A friend of mine once quipped, "We evangelicals have lots of meetings. When it comes to what's really important on God's agenda, we talk much but act little."

I've been thinking about how many of us sit around talking about fishing, but how few of us have our lines regularly in the water. We promote fishing, teach fishing, analyze...

You're Invited!

Posted by Bob Fetherlin , 02 August 2007 -

· 651 views

You may have heard about the idea of MAKEOVER . . . it started in International Ministries and has now spread more widely in the US C&MA as we seek God's guidance and help in an important journey. The journey is in the direction of broader impact and greater effectiveness for Jesus Christ as we seek to carry out his mission.

Frankly, if this is...

The big story is after a US...

Funding the Call Together

Posted by Bob Fetherlin , 25 June 2007 -

· 699 views

Recently phone conferences took place between C&MA leaders in Colorado Springs and overseas regional / field directors. These conversations were a part of our desire to connect and listen well so that we can "live the call together." During that call, one of the field directors put forward the idea of funding the call together.

A part of...

Taming the E-MAIL Beast

Posted by Bob Fetherlin , 18 June 2007 -

· 744 views

Ever feel overwhelmed by e-mail? I do quite often. Many days I've worked as fast as I can for two or three hours at a shot trying to answer a big pile of them. By the time I finished, my inbox was filling up again. It's an unending cycle. I have frequently felt like e-mail's slave instead of taming it as my servant.

It's odd that I've...

Avoiding a Deadly Trap

Posted by Bob Fetherlin , 11 June 2007 -

· 742 views

"A great fear has been at work in my mind and God has used it to arouse me to prayer. I knew a mighty man, filled with God's power. Then I saw him ten years later . . . embittered with a dead soul."

I wrote this quote in my journal as I listened to Gordon McDonald describing the resilient life. It was a wake-up call for me as I realized how...

My Visit to Goree Island, Senegal

Posted by Bob Fetherlin , 30 May 2007 -

· 827 views

In the early stages of my talking about a makeover, someone asked, "Bob, why are you doing this" That question has reverberated in my heart and mind over several months now. My response is embedded in an experience I had while in Dakar, Senegal. One afternoon I was taken by boat from Dakar to Goree Island just off the coast. It was from Goree...

Why I Appreciate the Great Commission Fund

Posted by Bob Fetherlin , 14 May 2007 -

· 736 views

In our changing times, some have advocated doing away with the Great Commission Fund (GCF). For me, this would be a huge mistake. A great strength of Alliance missions is that our international workers don't have to raise their own support. It's provided through the GCF.

Why kill a goose that lays a golden egg year after year? The last fiscal...

Update from the Philippines

Posted by Bob Fetherlin , 02 May 2007 -

· 786 views

There are now 2,506 local Alliance churches in the Philippines. This makes the CAMACOP (C&MA of the Philippines) larger than the US Alliance when it comes to number of local churches. The definition of "church" being used is an assembly of at least 25 baptized believers organized with elders and officers. CAMACOP's goal is to continue...

Update from Vietnam

Posted by Bob Fetherlin , 23 April 2007 -

· 687 views

I'm currently with Gary Benedict and two leaders from Simpson University in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Yesterday I asked our C&MA partners from the Evangelical Church of Vietnam (Tin Lanh) about how many believers they thought there were now in their family of churches here. They stated that there are now more than 1,000,000 believers associated...
