STEWARDSHIP Every individual holds a unique responsibility for one life. Until

one assumes proper stewardship for their own deeds and actions, any advice that comes from their lips says, “Do what I say but don’t do as I do.” Those who serve in leadership must grasp the importance of leading by example. There is no one more obligated to servant leadership than those who preach the Gospel. Those who stand behind the pulpit are held to a higher standard than the average person. All people are created equal and each one will stand before God to give an account; however, those who “preach” the Gospel must “live” the Gospel. There will be one significant question that all must answer. At the end of this life, God will directly ask, “What have you done with my Son?” Those who have their names written in the Book of Life will hear Him say, “Well done, welcome home!” Those who have rejected or even simply failed to make that lifechanging decision will hear Him say, “Depart from me.” Other than that response, there are other arenas of life for which we are accountable. A leader is not only a servant but may well be described as a steward. We have been given many gifts, talents, and opportunities. For those to whom much has been given, much will be required. One’s legacy will be determined by their degree of effective stewardship. Through the Assemblies of God of Oklahoma Foundation it is feasible and practical for every church to establish an endowment fund that will continue to serve the Kingdom until Jesus raptures His church. An endowment fund is simply an asset, usually money, designated and permanently reserved. The growth of such accounts is distributed to a specific beneficiary on an annual basis. Through the investments of the AGOK Foundation, the Board of Foundation Directors has declared an annual 5% of the existing fund will be issued as a distribution.

Anyone that establishes such an endowment, names a beneficiary. The only requirements are that each beneficiary must be a ministry that serves children, youth, or missions associated with the Assemblies of God. Some examples might include: OKAG Youth Camp facilities, a specific missionary or a missions ministry such as Teen Challenge or Convoy of Hope, a scholarship fund to be distributed by the local church to youth attending Kid’s Camp or Youth Camp, new church planting initiative, etc. Almost any passion of the heart may be named as a beneficiary and; therefore, the possibilities remain unlimited. Such an endowment may be established with an initial investment of as little as $1,000; however, $10,000 should be considered the ultimate minimum goal. Distributions are not disbursed until the fund balance average reaches $10,000. Once established, the AGOK Foundation offers assistance to the local church by serving as part of your on-going stewardship initiative. The Foundation offers assistance with individuals that desire to prepare a personal will and/or an estate plan. The Foundation offers printed material to assist the local church in raising awareness that your endowment exists. The local church might have an annual day designated as a Stewardship Sunday in order to promote the endowment. A specific offering might be received or the leadership might choose to make an annual donation to the fund. Once it is known, individuals may wish to include the fund in their personal estate planning. An endowment contribution might be selected as a means of a memorial upon the death of a friend, perhaps rather than sending flowers that soon fade away. After the endowment fund has been created, contributions may be made at any time by anyone as long as the gift is a minimum of $25. The Foundation is established as a 501(c) 3 entity by the Internal Revenue Service; therefore, contributors are issued an income tax deductible receipt at the end of each calendar year. For further information or for any specific question, please contact my office or feel free to ask me personally. Together - the AGOK Foundation can assist our churches, our ministers, and our believers with effective, Kingdom stewardship.

MISSIONS

HOW YOUR C H UR C H CA N STAY

BLESSED It sounds pretty audacious to assume that there is a formula

for being blessed. And, conveying certainty as to how a local church can be blessed and stay blessed could equally sound like a risky assertion. So, why even approach the subject? First of all, I do not know of any person or church that does not want to live a blessed life. Secondly, Christ’s words give this promise: “Now that you know these things, God will bless you for doing them” (John 13:17). Know what things…? Christ said that His disciples would be blessed if they embrace His life and obey His teachings. Christ also said these almost too familiar words: “Go into all the world and preach the Good News to everyone” (Mark 16:15). But when we see this command as the timeless Great Commission that it is, familiar words can become fresh revelation. And, to obey it means blessing! The human tendency, at times, is to ask God to bless what we are doing instead of doing what He’s already blessing. Obedience to God has and will always be the key to blessing. One of the best definitions to God’s blessing I’ve heard is having His gracious hand over you, your family, your business, and/or your church. God’s gracious hand is over any church that lives in obedience to what He has already commanded. Obeying His commission to go into all the world is a primary ingredient to staying blessed as a local congregation.

“Obedience to God has and will always be the key to blessing. ” Some time back, I found myself in a friendly discussion with a reformed theology pastor. His approach to biblical understanding has always intrigued me, which nudged me to ask a somewhat ridiculous question: “If all who experience salvation are already predestined…why even bother with global evangelism?” He swiftly

came back with a one-word response: “Obedience.” His challenging reply has yet to leave me even years later. Really, no matter our doctrinal persuasion, it’s about obeying God…period! Dan Betzer, in his book Why Some Churches are Blessed: Putting Faith and Obedience into Action, writes, “We don’t give to get; we give to obey. We let God deal with the aftermath in the way He chooses.” And, when it’s left up to God to determine the blessing, we are always better off. There’s not a different or new formula for living a truly blessed life. Immersing ourselves in the missions endeavor around the world is doing what He is already blessing. God’s gracious hand will remain on any church that sacrificially and joyfully obeys His Word.

FINANCE

P R ACT ICA L IN T ER N A L

CONTROLS The Oklahoma District Council has worked with an outside

financial audit firm for as far back as I can see. As a part of each audit cycle we give some dedicated time for the purpose of evaluating our internal control structure to ensure we are building financial systems which greatly decrease the opportunity for errors and misconduct. Internal Controls are nothing more than a system of measures put in place to achieve some level of order and efficiency in the daily operation of the church. As a part of this construct, it also helps a church safeguard its assets, detect and deter fraud and errors, and ensure accuracy and completeness of financial information. As a part of this process, as we look at our own internal control structure, we must always evaluate and implement things within the boundaries of our current resources and personnel. In other words, we have to look honestly at what resources we have in place (e.g. personnel, budget, technology, etc.), and build our system in way that is scalable and workable within our framework. Below is a list of some practical things every church can (and arguably should) do, regardless of size, in order to ensure both its people and its resources are being used for their intended purpose.

1. CASH

I have a friend who always says, “Cash is kryptonite.” Cash is a part of church life. We collect in offerings, we may have it around the office in the form of petty cash, we may use it to make change for events throughout the year. To go completely cashless is often impractical and improbable. That being said, when cash is present, controls MUST be in place. If cash is going to be used, you must build a system which requires full accountability and a full accounting both before and after the event. Some things which should always be avoided:

2. RECEIPTS

Everyone even marginally involved in the financial arm of the church understands what a challenge it is to collect receipts from some folks. That being said, collecting receipts to document expenditures of church funds is absolutely essential. Without the receipt, you have little to no way of accounting for expenses. Enforcing the potential tax implications for those continually loosing or not handing in receipts may be a good way to resolve this problem.

3. RECONCILE

Bank accounts need to be reconciled in a timely manner. In my view, this means on a monthly basis. The longer you wait to perform your bank reconciliation, the longer potential issues can go unnoticed.

4. REPORT

Financial reports are essential. Calling the bank on Monday morning for a balance is fairly good sign that your financial house is on its way to being out of order. If items are entered, and accounts are reconciled, then reports should be accurate enough for church leadership to make wise financial decisions. While good information does not always lead to good decisions, bad information will lead to bad decisions almost every time. Internal controls are an absolute must in the operation of a church, regardless of size and budget. They help ensure good stewardship and protect both the people and financial resources of the church. Without them, you can find yourself in a ditch very quickly. With them, you can leverage your resources more effectively than ever.

- Do not cash checks out of offerings or deposits. The church is not an ATM or a bank. If cash came in an offering, it needs to go to the bank. If you need cash, write a petty cash check. This keeps a clean paper trail. - Do not count or handle cash alone, and don’t allow anyone else to do this either. Always have two or more people present when cash is counted or collected. If possible, rotate those people from time to time.

CHURCH

PAST, P RE S EN T & F UT UR E

TRANSITIONS If there is one inevitable characteristic of life, it is that

transitions and changes continually happen. Whether they are gradual or sudden, planned or unplanned, our response to change is the only thing that we can control through transition. Our response is in direct correlation to our perspective. John F. Kennedy said “Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future.” While Nyree and I are humbled and honored to serve in the role of Church Ministries Director, we have had to face the challenge of transition in our life and ministry affecting our family, church family, and community relationships. While we are working through each transition, we have had to keep our perspective of the future in view. I have had to remind myself of several important elements of transitions that I need to keep in mind.

Rely on your support system, which will provide security during the transition. Throughout this transition many have supported us, by providing encouragement, expressing their love and offering their assistance. It has been reassuring to know that we have great friends who are our support system in this time of transition. While transitions are hard in the present, keeping our eyes on the future provides the hope and strength necessary to press on in this journey called life. God has a great plan!!

Recognize that transitions are difficult because they can shake your sense of identity. When I made the announcement that we were accepting a new position, my identity as Pastor of a local church transitioned to something completely different than any other position I have held. When I recognize that my identity as a minister is not founded in my title, but rather, my God-given calling, I can rest assured that no matter what position I find myself in, God has already established my identity. Realize that transitions are opportunities for personal growth and development. Transitions in life can be God’s gift to us in order for us to have a new start personally. While there are priorities that I will carry with me into this new role, I also recognize that there are areas that I will need to grow in order to fulfill the new responsibilities and expectations placed on me. Transitions are opportunities to practice new habits and new ways of interacting with others. Remember why the transition is necessary. Transitions are often necessary because God in His sovereignty has orchestrated the change to fulfill His plans for our lives. While we may not always understand the why, we have to trust that He knows what he is doing and place our hope in Him. Only then can we have peace in the midst of transitions.

WOMEN’S

FOREVER

GRATEFUL As for anyone, it’s always sobering and reflective as the

seasons of life change. I am forever grateful for these years of serving as Women’s Director. As I look back and see God’s divine handiwork in every event, connection and changed life I am overwhelmed by His faithfulness.

Hello Friends! I am still in a little bit of disbelief over my appointment to, “Director of Oklahoma Women’s Ministries” but suffice to say, I am beyond honored!

Thank you to those who have served on our women’s team within the last 6 ½ years. Your friendships, laughs and encouragement have been made this journey so much fun. It has been a blessing to work closely with you in planning and working to see God’s agendas come to pass.

It’s a new God-adventure for me after being in the Oklahoma District these 27 years with my wonderful husband, Mark. I am truly humbled by the confidence placed upon me and I want to thank Pastors Frank and Linda Cargill for this great opportunity to lead. Thank you!

To the women of Oklahoma…you have attended the conferences, given sacrificially to LIFE, driven to Dry Gulch, adopted a missionary, attended trainings, and so much more!

I am EXCITED to continue building upon my predecessor, Michelle Pilcher’s EXCELLENT foundation. She and those before her, like Rosie Yandell and Linda Stamps Dissmore have given me a rich heritage and mantle to pick up. Currently, the Women’s Ministries Department is extremely strong and successful and excellence has been the signature. By God’s grace, I will continue that! So, I am praying and believing God to anoint me for the task ahead. I need favor so my dependence is upon God to do what only He can do. No amount of talent, experience, charm or charisma can ensure FAVOR for any one. That comes from God. I Know He spoke to me directly to accept this position. So I rest on that and that alone and I covet your prayers.

“Thank you for being an active part of women’s ministries. ” It’s exciting to see what God is doing in your local women’s groups and how He continues to use you to reach women with His love. Yes, for everything there is a season, a time for every activity under heaven. It is God who makes everything beautiful in its own time. It is God who gives the beauty we enjoy from each season. It is God who gives fruit as a gift. I hold this season dear to my heart and thank you for allowing me the privilege to serve. It is with great anticipation Darren and I look forward to serving the missionaries of this great district!

We will arise and go upward for God’s Glory. I am excited to pour into the lives of girls and women and believe in the plans He has for them. We are Daughters of the Most High God! Beyond that, I will continue the Mission’s footprint which has made Oklahoma Women’s Ministries, a Powerhouse in giving throughout the World! As a Missionary Evangelist, this will continue to be near and dear to my heart. Friends, The God whispers have already started and I am excited! Lovingly submitted, Susie Purkey

Forever grateful, Michelle Pilcher
