It was a year ago this April that I was appointed to the General Superintendents Cabinet and in this initial meeting it was decided to move forward with the creation of the Assemblies of God Trust which would have three major objectives. These three primary emphases are church planting, investing in the next generation, and providing resources for evangelism and discipleship. And a lot has happened in just one year.
Work has begun on new resouces for discipleship via revamping of the Foundations of Faith curriculum, two scholarship programs have been created in order to encourage our young people to enter into ministry and to start new churches, and grants have been made available to financially assist new church plants.
And the results are beginning to show. According to a recent report from the AG Trust, "During the past 12 months, 43 churches have received matching grants and have made contact with over 70,000 unchurched people, seen 955 salvations, and are giving 11 percent of their general income to missions."
I am also proud to say that Praise Assembly is a Charter Member of the AG Trust.
The next General Superintendents Meeting is April 2nd and at that time I hope to give a very current report of all that God has done through this very ambitious strategy.
