MIKE’S PICKS: RESOURCES FOR MINISTRY

Mike Hess, GARBC national representative, shares the following helpful resources for ministry.

  • Mike’s article on how a pastor can serve his church well by helping it prepare for his retirement
  • An excellent article by GARBC chaplain Bill Gasser on the sad and unfortunate events that have unfolded in Afghanistan, told from a chaplain’s perspective
  • A helpful article by Nicholas Batzig on what it means to be led by the Spirit

GARBC CHRISTIAN CHARACTER SCHOLARSHIP

Do high school seniors attend your church? What better way to prepare them for the future than by equipping them with a solid college education from a Christian worldview. Encourage seniors (those graduating from high school during the 2021–22 school year) at your church to apply for the GARBC Christian Character Scholarship and to attend a participating college. The deadline to apply is Tuesday, Nov. 30.
