God is at Work - We Need to Celebrate!
Region before concluding in September in the Northwest Region and the Central Region. I want to personally invite you to join me as we celebrate the past, cast vision for the future, and collaborate as we prayerfully seek ways to work together for the kingdom. One of the keys to leadership is listening. I have always told my three children that the Lord gave us two ears and one mouth, so we should listen twice as much as we speak. My desire is for you to be able to ask your questions and I want to hear your heart as you hear mine. I have been looking forward to this. Please bring your leaders, your church, and whoever wants to come, as we sit down to celebrate, cast vision, and collaborate. While no church, local association, state convention, en- tity, or seminary is perfect, we must be careful not to only focus on the flaws, but also on the favor of God. We must learn to celebrate the wins and the activity of God in us and around us. While we have had some challenging times recently in the Southern Baptist Convention and even here in Ohio . . .God is at work, and we need to celebrate! Please sign up, show up, and spread the word. Registration for The SCBO Vision Tour is now available at https://www. scbo.org/event/scbo-vision-tour.
God is at work in our state, and I want to celebrate what He has been doing in our midst. That’s why we created the SCBO Vision Tour, which will make stops in all six regions of Ohio this year. The pur- pose is to provide pastors, church staff, and church lead - ers the opportunity to enjoy a meal together, engage in conversation, ask questions, and connect over the heart of ministry in our churches. The Vision Tour began in the Southwest Region in April and is moving to the West Region in May and the South- east Region in June. It resumes in August in the Northeast
