Decline Study Presented As Lecture at Maywood Camp Retreat
It was an honor for me to present the Decline Study in a 45 minute presentation for 87 attendees at the Missionary Retreat at the Maywood Christian Camp in Hamilton, Alabama, May 10 - 12, 2007. My talk was one of about a dozen by speakers, seasoned missionaries, who were excited about being there telling their stories of the works they had done. The words of wisdom from these men enthused us all, and made us want to get back to our congregations and tell them what we had experienced.
The J.C.Choates and the Wayne Barriers organized and carried out the work of keeping the lectures running 'really close to schedule.' The food prepared for us during the lectures was second to none! The fellowship was unbelievably rich and rewarding to those of us who thirst for talk of missions and evangelism. The stories of conversions never grow old. The Lord and the angels of Heaven must surely delight when we teach one and he comes to Him. Then certainly He enjoys our telling others of these wonderful times and of the ones won over from Satan.
The Decline Study has been made over 2006 and early 2007. The talk was a presentation of others ideas..in fact, some 60 others. I am available to present the talk in one LONG lecture or in a series of four 30 minute talks. The shorter talk gives me longer to develop the very significant points needed to present the things well which we all learned from the study. If I can show you the "Reasons for the Decline (in our numbers of the church), the "Solutions", and "Implementation of the Solutions", I would be happy to do so.

Thank you, Don Petty
