I am a pastor at 
Doing some work on looking ahead to 2008 as we seek to do our best to be a church that matters for the Kingdom.
In my reading I came across this Quote of the day,
“Developing a statement of purpose is not delivering effective mission; it is simply developing a statement of purpose…the scriptures speak of very concrete forms of help, like feeding the hungry, clothing the naked, giving shelter. That is to say, mission happens only when effective help has been delivered – until that consequential sharing of help has occurred, no mission has taken place.”
