This issue of Reaching Rural America for Christ provides insight into how success in our daily lives, in our work and even in the church should be defined. What if our measure of success was more “sanctified” — more focused on our faithfulness to God’s mission and our willingness to learn from our experience than on numbers and dollars?
The newsletter also offers information about events and free monthly webinars.
