COORDINATE 2016-2017 LOUISIANA BAPTISTS CHURCH PLANNING GUIDE COORDINATE 2016-2017 LOUISIANA BAPTISTS CHURCH PLANNING GUIDE There is more joy in heaven... David E. Hankins Executive Director Most of us are familiar with the commercial where someone knocks on the door of an unsuspecting resident and presents them with a big check from a sweepstakes they entered. As the commercial comes to an end we’re told, “This could be you!” It’s definitely a party on the porch! What gets you excited? Is it when your favorite team is victorious? Is it when you receive some unexpected good news? How about when you purchase a new car, welcome a new baby, celebrate a graduation … you get the idea. While God celebrates with us on many of these occasions, there is only one thing that generates that kind of excitement in heaven, “ … there is more joy in heaven over one lost sinner who repents and returns to God than over ninety-nine others who are righteous and haven’t strayed away!” Luke 15:7 (NLT) There is a grassroots effort underway in Louisiana that has the opportunity to light up heaven. I encourage you to begin to pray, plan and participate in the “Harvest” events that will take place across the state in 2017-2018. Led by local churches and Associations, this effort will use every possible means to share the Gospel and encourage people to respond to the Spirit’s leading. I’m excited about what God’s going to do in and through this Harvest emphasis. I hope you are too. God has already told us what His response will be. David E. Hankins Mission Statement The Louisiana Baptist Convention exists to serve the Baptist churches in Louisiana as: • a catalyst for igniting a passion for Jesus and His Kingdom • a consultant for strengthening the congregations • a conduit for accomplishing cooperative mission Planning for 2017 Use these steps as you make plans for your church Step 1 — Pray • What does God want us to do?
