Penn. /Jersey Baptists Consider Altering Convention
Nov 20, 2006,
By Staff of Baptist Press

Dr David Waltz
LANCASTER, Pa. (BP)--A plan to reorganize the Baptist Convention of PA/SJ into a Baptist Resource Network to serve local churches in a more strategic fashion was presented to messengers during their Nov. 2-3 annual meeting in Lancaster, Pa. The plan will continue to be explored during the coming year.
David Waltz, the convention’s executive director, delivered a report from the task force charged with considering the implications of moving to a Baptist Resource Network concept. Under the concept, local churches would benefit by having easier access to services vital to accomplishing their ministry goals.
The task force concluded that the timing is conducive for the convention to alter its structure because it is in an overall position of strength, which is the best time to initiate change. Also, the task force’s review of a decade of statistical data indicated some areas of weakness, Waltz said.
The state convention area would be divided into four regions, and each would have a team consisting of current association and state staff funded by Cooperative Program giving. Each staff person would be assigned 15 churches under the new structure, which the task force said could be presented to messengers for implementation by November 2008.
“I’m so glad it is [God’s] work and not mine,” Waltz said in asking for prayer for the convention’s executive board and him to have insight to do the right thing. “He’ll lead us in the challenging days ahead. I was really pleased that the executive board and the convention would be willing to risk considering the concept of the Baptist Resource.

After to have gone to Maryland two months back next to John Kovalchuk and Alberto Hernandez, the brothers of the Hispanic church of Germantown invited to me so that I returned to share my experiences with them like planter of Hispanic churches in order to motivate the congregation to the work to reach the souls for Christ.
It was a privilege and a joy for me to sharing five hours with the leaders and the congregation of Germantown speaking to them on “My Experiences on Productive Evangelism and Strategies for Evangelize, and also How to Plant Healthy Churches and to Establish Leaders”. The encounter included time for worship together with the congregation and time of refreshments. Aleluia!
