Southern Africa’s Christian Women’s Club Trustee Ailsa Williamson recently challenged Stonecroft women under her mentorship to “actively participate in the exciting 50K challenge” by:
GROWING OUR TEAMS AND CONNECTIONS: Invite a friend or member of your church to join you on the planning team. Hold a Christmas Gathering or a shared interest get-together. Set growth goals for your local group and challenge other groups to better your increase.
SHARING THE GOSPEL: Invite first-timers to an outreach meeting where speakers present the Gospel message so that women are challenged to give their lives to the Lord.
BECOMING A REGULAR DONOR: Partner with Stonecroft by becoming a regular donor to our ministry.
GUIDING NEW STONECROFT BIBLE STUDY GROUPS: Offer to become a guide for six weeks for an introductory Bible study.
PRAYING: It is good to remember that this is not all about numbers. It is about joining God in His work to insure that none will perish, but all shall have eternal life. This goal cannot be reached without all of us, together, seeking God.
So there you have it—great ideas from our South African sisters on expanding God’s work through Stonecroft Ministries. Their theme for 2008 is “On the Way to 50K.”
What is your group doing to help fulfill Stonecroft’s vision for adding 50,000 voices—volunteers, Stonecroft Bible Study participants, donors and people ordering Stonecroft evangelism resources—by 2010? Share your thoughts now.
We are a newer group here in Nova Scotia, Canada-only 3 years old! This September, we are going to kick off our calendar year with our Guest Night and silent auction (fall fundraiser) together. Hopefully, we ‘ll get some donations-nine holes of golf, 1-time ski pass, free tune-up, etc. for men to bid on. Our plan is to have a group of ‘Barbershop’ men to entertain us while we enjoy an hors d’oeuvres buffet. We expect the Lord to work ‘wonders’ as He always does through the prayers, planning and preparation of our very ‘ordinary’ saints!
