At our ACOP Regional Conferences, Dan Scott talked about us being at a hinge point in history. In his Jesus is Trending article, Ed Stetzer picks up on that theme, and points out how this time of unrest and disruption, are causing people to turn to Jesus, church attendance, particularly among the Gen Z generation is up. Stetzer also gives some practical tips on how the church can use this time of disruption as an opportunity to spread the gospel.

We love how the Holy Spirit works within a searching soul! One Sunday, a lady began attending our church (she lives across the street). She accepted Jesus, was baptized, got involved in a "Life Group," and is active within the church. And now, she wants the same for her husband—let's believe God for his salvation. What a joy it is to see a life changed!

God is changing the world—through YOU. You—right here, right now.

What you do may look superhuman: from Sunday morning messages to Friday night youth events...

And one-on-one discipleship to leading small groups, mentoring hearts, cheering on your flock, planning events, leading outreach, sharing the gospel, supporting (and going on) missions, and walking alongside families in crisis or need.

We see it. We feel it.

We recognize the high calling on your life—and your family’s. You've been entrusted with our spiritual care, and you’ve carried that weight with grace and hope, faith and love.

Because of you, our world has changed. Thank you.

"Now we ask you, brothers and sisters, to acknowledge those who work hard among you, who care for you in the Lord and who admonish you. Hold them in the highest regard in love because of their work."—1Thessalonians 5:12-13
