Winter 2020 Engage Journal Released
The Winter 2020 issue of Church of God Engage has been released and available digitally at www.cogengage.org.
The journal for ministers, church and lay leaders, offers a variety of articles for those working in ministry on a regular basis. Engage offers practical ministry ideas and resources, as well as items for the local church to implement. In addition, advertisements throughout the publication are provided by the departments and ministries of the Church of God.
In this issue General Overseer Tim Hill continues the series, “Let’s Talk About It,” where he addresses the topic of the recently completed Global Ministry Forums. The Doctrine and Polity papers, a series of articles that address some of the Church of God’s core values, continues in this issue with a scriptural analysis on Spiritual Gifts, written by Dr. Jerry Daffe of the School of Religion at Lee University.
Special features include articles that focus on transition in ministry, God’s Future Mission, ways to bridge the generation gap in the church, and embracing what author Dr. Lorinda Roberts terms, “The Passionate Generation.” There is also the latest on the 40-week prayer initiative, #wepraycog and a preview of the General Assembly in Indianapolis.
Recurring sections include “Church of God Highlights,” which looks back at the last four months of Church of God happenings as reported on Faith News Network. Church of God Legal Counsel Dennis Watkins addresses the topic of the recording of conversations within church boundaries, while President and CEO of the Benefits Board Art Rhodes talks about the latest economic trends and how they impact the church.
Published three times a year, Engage is emailed directly to ministers, pastors, staff and leaders in the Church of God. It is then made available to anyone simply through logging into the website www.cogengage.org. On the site, the publication may be viewed in a convenient PDF format. There are also archived copies of the publication going back several years.
