40 Days of Love - a message for our leadership team

OK. I did some math and if my calculation is right - here’s the situation. · 99 people are not in a small group (63 individuals + 36 couples = 99 people). · 33 leaders are inviting (5 elders + 18 small group leaders/assistant leaders + 6 ministering shepherds + Jeanie + Jon + Jeff = 33 leaders) · 99 divided by 33 = 3. · Theoretically, if each leader invited 3 people to join a group for six weeks – no one would be overlooked – and many would join a small group. I recognize the limitations of my logic. Some of us will invite the same people, one invitation could result in 2 people joining because 36 of the 99 are couples, and so forth. Although the math above is not exact – it was a helpful exercise for me because it breaks it down - makes it seem doable. Our goal is reachable. 33 leaders praying for and inviting 99 people to join a small group for six weeks – we can do this! No one left behind. No one overlooked. Every member will receive a personal invitation to join a small group for six weeks. Below are the people who are currently not in a small group. Start working with each other today. Love, Jeff
