30 So now the Metropolis of Atlanta has a plan as to how we hope to have: a good account before the awesome judgment seat of Christ

31 Is It Too Late For Us To Do This? The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is today. Old Chinese Proverb

stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done

35 Courage and Perseverance It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. President Theodore Roosevelt April 23, 1910

36 Courage and Perseverance The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming President Theodore Roosevelt April 23, 1910

Courage and Perseverance (the credit belongs to the man) who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he

37 Courage and Perseverance (the credit belongs to the man) who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat. President Theodore Roosevelt April 23, 1910

39 Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere. Imagination is more important than knowledge. Albert Einstein

40 Strategy without tactics is the slowest route to victory. Tactics without strategy is the noise before defeat. Sun Tzu

41 A dream is just a dream. A goal is a dream with a plan and a deadline. Harvey Mackay

42 You must be the change you wish to see in the world. Mahatma Gandhi

43 Either lead, follow or get out of the way. - Ted Turner - General George S. Patton - Lee A. Iacocca - - Thomas Paine - - Bill Marianes

45 Kipchoge Keino a/k/a Kip Keno

47 Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves: Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be?

48 YOU ARE A CHILD OF GOD. YOUR PLAYING SMALL DOES NOT SERVE THE WORLD. There s nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won t feel insecure around you.

49 We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It s not in some of us; it s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give others permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

50 - I am only one. - But still I am one. - I can not do everything. - But still I can do something. - I will not fail to do the something I can do!

51 Why Are We Doing This? That the end of our lives may be Christian, without pain, blameless and peaceful, and for a good account at the awesome judgment seat of Christ.

52 Therefore be imitators of God and walk in love, and walk worthy of the calling with which you were called For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light. Ephesians 5:1-2,8

53 Commitment and the Holy Spirit Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth that ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred Whatever you can do, or dream you can do, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. Begin it now. Goethe (or William Hutchinson Murray)

54 Church Leaders The most basic task of the Church leader is to discern the spiritual gifts of all those under his authority, and to encourage those gifts to be used to the full for the benefit of all. Only a person who can discern the gifts of others and can humbly rejoice at the flowering of those gifts is fit to lead the Church. + Saint John Chrysostom

55 You have now been called as one of the 70 Disciples! Luke 10:1

56 The Final Act: I Send You Out

57 At that time, Jesus lifted up his eyes to heaven and said, "As you, Father, did send me into the world, so I have sent them into the world. John 17:18-19
