This afternoon I read a short book entitled, “Core Values: Serving Christ’s Cause with Effectiveness and Excellence” written by Dr. George O. Wood, the newly elected general superintendent of the Assemblies of God. A long time minister with the A/G whose father was from Jeanette, PA and was a missionary to China & Tibet. Checkout the bridge on the cover!
Those 5 values described in the book are: Passionate Proclamation of Jesus Christ, Strategic Involvement in the next generation, Vigorous Planting of churches, Skillful Resourcing equipping believers & Fervent Prayer. The description of how he came to these 5 core values within a one week period of being elected is described on the back cover of the book.
“Soon after he was elected general superintendent, Dr. George Wood identified five core values that would determine the priorities of his administration. In acting upon these values, his desire is to build bridges-especially to nonbelievers, people of diverse cultures and younger generations.”
The 111 page book was not only inspiring but very insightful. And…I found it very interesting that he’s described as wanting to build bridges that “must be built not only with words, but also with deeds and caring acts that demonstrate sincere, compassionate love.”
At BridgePoint, words, deeds & caring acts that sincerely connect people to Gods compassionate love are the types of bridges we want to help build. On Palm Sunday March 16th that process will begin with our grand opening!
BTW:the superintendent wants to build bridges…BridgePoint…is God up to something?
