What can a small church accomplish?
Ask the members of the Waynesville, Mo.,
church about the congregation’s ministry
at nearby army post Fort I^eonard Wood.
Waynesville, a church of approximately
60 in a town of 3,400, sponsors the ministry
which last year baptized 68 service people.

a significant Spanish-speaking
group that has moved into the
Midwest. They would naturally
listen to Spanish music and pro-

You’ll never find yourself
calling me for advice on at
least one subject: money.
After all, I know more
about Keats than Keoghs,
more about Walden Pond
than Mutual Funds.
I’m also
not sure I
fully under-

Jesus’
teachings
about
money. He

once both

To further prove my utter
financial illiteracy, I proba-

the planet to hear about
Rich Dad, Poor Dad. Author
Robert Kiyosaki has even
been on Oprah. (Too bad 1
don’t watch more televi-

grows from his experi-
ences with two dads: one
had financial literacy and
the other did not.
Now I agree that I
should teach my sons
about money. Proverbs
gives me plenty of evi-
dence that God’s people
passed along pragmatic
wisdom to their children. 1
want my sons to under-
stand the coin of this
world, but it is imperative
that I do not fail to teach
the coin of the next—a
currency of the heart.
All this dissonance about
money and faith has
caused me to think about
periods of great prosperity.
Our congregations and
families are enjoying a
period of great prosperity. I
enjoy this prosperity in
part because I long have
benefited from the philan-
thropy of unselfish individ-
uals and corporations. You
do, too. Look around our

Washington, Johnnie Sanders and others,
includes holding Sunday worship and Bible

the post for engineering training.
Attendance ranges from fewer than 25 to
a record 250 people, he says.
“The ministry on the post is a good
work. The Lord has blessed us to be able
to do this,” Healea says.

Their generation spans two millennia. They
are techo-sawy, yet traditional. 'ITey don’t
buy into the norm, nor the abnormal. They’ve
earned the name “Generation whY” with their
questioning of
everything —
including church of
Christ beliefs.
Such is the profile
of Gen Y teens in
our fellowship as
shown in research
by Abilene Christian
University’s Center
for Youth and
Family Ministry.

Jr., director of the Center, and Carley Dodd.
ACU professor of communications, surveyed
530 church teens in 14 states, releasing their
findings in February at ACU’s annual Youth

'lhe study found Gen Ys teens to be “spiri-
tually stronger” than Gen X’s, even though a
majority are “into God. but not church.” and
reject a key church of Christ doctrine.
