R.E.S.C.U.E. is a response to the "whys" in church life: • Why do the majority of churches have only half or less members attend on the Lord’s Day? • Why have approximately 40% of pastors been involved in affairs and 50% of their marriages ended in divorce? • Why is there infighting in the church and why are there so many church splits? • Why are there so many pharisaical people in churches? • Why is the power of the Holy Spirit absent in churches? • Why is Biblical truth watered down? • Why is pastor or elder leadership not trusted? • Why do congregations think they can lead themselves? • Why isn’t the church reaching more lost souls? • Why is church discipline off most church radars? • Why is the average percentage of giving per member only between 1 and 3 percent? • Why is a pastor’s tenure only two to four years? • Why do churches fear change? After 33 years of ministry overseeing all sizes of congregations, I have dealt with those "whys." If churches do not address the "whys," many will sink into the ecclesiastical graveyard or remain afloat in stagnate waters. I believe R.E.S.C.U.E. can navigate churches to be transformed into an impactful and fruitful body of believers that glorifies our Lord!
