Chapter excerpt
Vital sign 18: Major new projects
In a nutshell
New things in church life have a tendency to take the limelight from
existing things. Every time we give energy and resources to a new
project and communicate about it in detail, there’s a danger that
other important things will get less airtime. Of course new initiatives
and projects need our time, energy, and resources to get off the
ground. The challenge is to make sure we don’t lose the emphasis on
our key values, including our value of equipping people as whole-life
disciples.
