District SDMI Convention
August 25, 2012
with guest speakers Drs. Henry and Richard Blackaby!
Church of the Nazarene, Wooster, Ohio
 
 
Greetings NCO!
 
I trust you enjoyed this year’s SDMI Convention. I would love to hear your comments on it!
 
As mentioned, here are the next steps you can take to follow up on The Master’s Plan presentation:
 
#1 Cultivate a taste for God; particularly practice sacrificial prayer and praise. A good resource for you would be Craig Rench’s 2008 SDMI presentation at the Joplin district. He is the one who brought The Master’s Plan to the USA. Here is a direct link to Cornerstone’s website where you can place your order: http://www.cornerstoneaudiovideo.com/products/2008/joplin-assembly.html
 
The session called, “#1 - Rev. Craig Rench - SDMI Ministry Banquet - Monday Evening - Prayer & Praise” would be my first recommendation. It is fabulous! I’ve listened to it dozens of times. I would also encourage you to purchase all four sessions presented by Craig Rench. It will give you an excellent overview of The Master’s Plan.
 
#2 Cominskey’s Book: Another great resource to discover more about The Master’s Plan would be Joel Comiskey’s book, Groups of Twelve. It is no longer in print but you can find a copy at Amazon.com. Here is the full title you find at Amazon: Groups of 12: A New Way to Mobilize Leaders and Multiply Groups in Your Church by Joel Comiskey, Joel, T. Comiskey and Joel T. Comiskey (Oct 1, 1999).
 
#3 Attend the Discipleship Summit in Bloomington, IL. At this time there are three going: Bernie Dickson, Mike Bean, and myself. If more want to go we could carpool. Please just let me know.
