We have reached the final week of our year-end matching campaign. Your financial partnership with Empowering Action supports church leaders such as Pastor Kelvin Rosario in Hato Mayor, Dominican Republic, whom I met earlier this month as his church hosted a regional meeting of Abundant Life Program leaders.

In the picture above, the pastor explained his vision of planting several churches in his region with the desire to implement the Abundant Life Program at each new church.

Hearing his strategic vision for his community reminded me of the Apostle Paul exhorting Titus to “Set in order the things that are wanting, and ordain elders in every city.” (Titus 1:5). Paul recognized that ministry vitality and longevity are tied to structure and oversight, tasking Titus to establish governance within the churches of Crete.

History indicates that Titus faithfully stewarded that trust, spreading the gospel into the neighboring islands, eventually dying at the age of ninety-four; however, not before the Lord used him significantly in service to Christ’s Church.

Thanks for your continued prayer and financial support in 2023 as we partner to equip church leaders to faithfully steward their biblical trust in service to Christ’s Church.
