USA (MNN) — Christmas is a great time to reflect on God’s goodness to us. Founder and President of Global Advance David Shibley reflects on that this holiday.
“What privilege to wish you and yours a very Merry Christmas and to pray the blessing of the Lord on you and your family in the coming year. What a thrill it is to follow Jesus Christ in these days when the church is advancing with such strength around the world. The kingdoms of this world, the Bible promises us, will become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ and He will reign forever and ever. Merry Christmas.”
Global Advance provides pastoral training. In 2004, Global Advance trained 29,560 leaders in 45 conferences in 31 nations. In 2005, they hope to increase that number. Pray that many of these trained leaders and pastors will catch the vision for evangelism and plant many churches in areas where there is not Christian witness.
