27 Years of Ministry: A Trip Down Memory Lane and a Church Audit
Good morning, brothers and sisters in Christ! 🙏 Today, I took a special trip to Nashville, TN, to do a head count for Grace Evangelistic Ministries’ summer conference. This ministry, which I’ve supported financially, has been in operation for 27 years. I wanted to see how they’ve been doing since I left. 🚗🌟
Driving through Central Time and taking a nostalgic trip down memory lane, I visited the house I grew up in. Memories of Debbie, my teacher, surfaced. Fun fact: This is also where my ex-wife sent my dog, and I’m still a bit salty about it. 🐶
Heading to Brentwood, where all the music producers and celebrities live, I was surprised to find Grace Evangelistic Ministries’ beautiful church right next to the Governor’s Club. After an hour and a half drive, I arrived to count heads. To my surprise, there were only about 15 cars in the parking lot for a worldwide conference. 🚙
This got me thinking: What are they doing with the money I’ve been sending them? For 27 years, they’ve promised growth and impact, but the attendance hasn’t improved. Despite the grand location and beautiful building, the turnout was disappointing.
I’ve been investigating where our money is going and how effectively it’s being used for God’s work. Are they truly saving the world, or just maintaining appearances? It’s time to hold our ministries accountable and ensure our contributions are making a real difference.
Stay tuned as I continue this journey of discovery. God bless! 🙌
