Ken Morgan begins an interim role as Managing Director of Church Army Australia

Legend has it that the slogan of Cambodian moto drivers (you know those guys who run a taxi service with a postie bike) is “Same same, only different”. I’ve never been to Cambodia or ridden a moto, but I’m borrowing the slogan anyway.

As I assume temporary leadership of Church Army Australia (having been appointed by the Board) , much will remain the same. We’ll continue to plant and support local mission bases and Church Army personnel around Australia , enlarge our restoration ministries, train local missionaries and develop Kihilla. We’ll continue to implement the new membership policy, and develop partnerships with donors and like-minded organisations.

Different will be some of our emphases. For the past seven years, we’ve more or less operated on the principle of ‘try a lot of stuff and keep what works’. And that’s been the right approach for revitalising Church Army. We’ve made a lot of changes in a relatively short time. As interim leader, my role is more like ‘try a few things, and improve upon what’s already working.’ Or put another way, to emphasise efficiency and effectiveness. If we can learn to achieve more through what we’re already doing, and reduce the effort and expense it takes to achieve it, we’ll provide a great platform for an incoming National Director to cast fresh vision and lead Church Army into the next phase of growth.

So I encourage you to sign up to whatever level of membership you think is appropriate for you, pray hard, get involved where you can and ask God how much you should give.

We’ll keep you posted here, though Pioneer and our E-news. If you haven’t signed up for Pioneer or our E-news, click ‘subscribe to Pioneer’ on the left.

In the service of the King,


Ken
