Our staff at StoneBridge entered 2008 with a sense of desperation, begging God to change lives thru the efforts of our church. We got off to a great start in January. I just sent a email out to our core group and shared with them what God did this month. Here it is:
- One person accepted Jesus Christ as her Savior thru the outreach of our Wednesday Night College small group
- Five people were baptized this month!
- Two new Small Groups and Four new Life Transformation Groups began!
- We had a record month of giving!
- We approved our 2008 Budget and added Kevin McCauley as a Church Planting Intern.
- We finalized plans to work with a Ministry Team of college students from Arkansas State University in March. They will be coming to Morgantown on March 15-20th to partner with us in various ministry outreach projects that week.
- A group of students from the University of Arkansas is interested in coming to Morgantown in May to do community outreach and help to promote our Sports Camp in July. We should know something concrete in February.
- We are finalizing plans to participate in Morgantown's Winter Carnival on Saturday, February 23rd, taking place on High Street. If you have ideas on how we can serve our community at the carnival, please let us know. We are going to need to put together a team of people from StoneBridge to work the Carnival.
Now we need 11 more months like this one...

Russell, it comes in waves! Just conserve (disciple)what you gained and prepare for the next wave. Don't miss the next wave. You can get sidetracked by what happened this month and not be ready. There will be many more waves like this one. Remember what we learned in Richmond:
Readiness, Recruitment, Mentor, Multiply.
Good Stuff, David! Thanks for your words of encouragement!
Thanks David for your words of wisdom. I appreciate your heart and investment in our ministry. Let's get ready for the next wave.
