Mission Learning Center

While spreading the MLC concept of teaching the church's children to grow up "mission-positve" is our primary work, we have enjoyed other projects in the year of 2006 to further outreach, evangelism, bible knowledge, and church growth in general.

You are invited to participate in some parts of that work, namely, in receiving, reading, and using four papers that have been put together since February. These four papers are the result of a "Decline Study" made from surveying some 400 evangelistic church members, and asking them why the church of Christ lost an average of 10 members per day from 2003 to 2006.

These papers may be obtained by emailing me, Don Petty at DOSYL56@aol.com and asking for me to email any one or all of them. The papers are:

"Reasons for the Decline" (in church membership) completed in the Spring of 2006.

"Solutions to the Decline" completed in the Summer of 2006.

"Implementing the Solutions" completed in the Fall of 2006.

"A One-Study Journey Through the Bible to Salvation" completed this winter (2006).

Again, any one or all of these papers may be received by email FREE from Don Petty. Simply request them as follows.."REASONS," "SOLUTIONS," "IMPLEMENTING," or "ONE-STUDY." There are no obligations in any way...no charge, nothing to buy, nothing else to do. Just request, read, use and pass them on or put them to use.

The intent simply is (1) glorify God, (2) reach the lost, (3) give tools to stop the decline of the church membership, (4) turn the growth curve of the church around - down to up.

May God bless all our efforts to save souls. In His Great and Holy Name, Don Petty
