So true.
In many cases, the Jehovah's Witnesses and the Mormons do a much better job of reaching the unchurched around them, than we do.

RevRandy, I would caution you against getting involved in government as a minister. I was under a man once who'd gone that route and had a lot of members while he was mayor, but when he got out, lost a bunch of tithe-payers all of a sudden And sometimes enemies are made that will never be won.
