Greetings in the wonderful name of Jesus!
God has wonderfully blessed the growth of this ministry through the years. I marvel at the doors He has opened which have allowed us to learn more about what He is doing in the world and to be more engaged with other cultures for the sake of the gospel. While we rejoice in these expanding opportunities, I am aware of my own limitations in doing more while still maintaining a high standard for ministry.
Members of the CGGC Cross-Cultural Commission have been extremely supportive! For several years, they have expressed concerns about the future. How can we sustain our momentum while also improving the effectiveness of our current ministry? More specifically, how can we best facilitate a smooth leadership transition if/when I am no longer the Director?
In September, the CGGC Administrative Council authorized funding for a director-level staff person to assist the Cross-Cultural Ministries Director in overseeing and serving the needs of our expanding missions work. A preliminary job description has been posted at http://www.cggc.org/PDF%20Files/CCM/JOB%20DESCRIPTION.pdf
Persons wishing to be considered for the position are requested to send a résumé with a cover letter to Don Dennison, P.O. Box 926, Findlay, OH 45839 (or email attachment to missions@cggc.org no later than December 1st.
We hope to announce the selection at the March 15-16, 2011 CGGC Administrative Council meeting so that employment can begin by mid-2011. Please pray for God’s guidance in this selection process.
Our goal of “glorifying God by mobilizing churches to have a biblical vision of reproducing Christ’s followers in other cultures" remains the same. We want to do more, because the need has never been greater. We want to do better, because He is worthy of our best.
Thank you for the opportunity to serve. Thank you for your faithful, generous support of CGGC Cross-Cultural Ministries.
Blessed to be a blessing,
Don Dennison, Director
CGGC Cross-Cultural Ministries
