Dr. Mark Hensley

 

"The goal of Mark Hensley Ministries is to Encourage and Refresh Churches and Pastors, and Pastorless Churches in the areas of Evangelism, Strategic Planning, Church Health and Vision Development."

 

" Leonard Sweet of Drew University observes that only 25% of churches are growing. That is, 75% are declining. Yet among those that are growing only 1% of the growth is coming from new conversions. The other 24% of growth is coming from members leaving the 75% of the churches that are declining. There is almost no conversion growth. Our churches are fishing for men....in one another's fish tanks."

 

Pastors Are the Solution

 

"Consider-- our world is in turmoil...Is there any hope? Yes, there is. That hope is a moral and spiritual awakening. I have thought about this and I have concluded:

The hope of the world is the West.

The hope of the West is America.

The hope of America is the Christian faith.

The hope of the Christian faith is evangelical churches.

The hope for evangelical churches is God-anointed and God-appointed Pastors.

Many Pastors are discouraged. Many feel inadequate and untrained for the task that is set before them."
